It does all it's suppose to do!

I frequently read reviews (when they are available) before purchasing larger items. So, let me help out those interested in the Canon LA-DC58H Conversion Lens and Adapter. I found it simple to install,easy to use and a lot of fun to use. Reviews written about how difficult it was to install obviously never looked at the camera's manuel. In less than a minute I had the Adapter attached, the Lens mounted and the necessary setting to the camera made -- oh, and I was taking photo's immediately.

CANON, HOW STUPID CAN YOU BE?

I recently purchased this dinky overpriced piece of plastic for my G9.

But the build quality isn't the main problem here. The main problem is that it comes with no instructions whatsoever. Now, this is a pretty simple accessory and I'm a reasonably intelligent person, so I didn't think this would be much of a problem.

I was wrong. I removed the bayonet ring as all the reviews say you must do. I see a white dot on the DC58H, none on the camera. So I gently put the DC58H on with the white dot near the top and it appeared to snap into position. But it wasn't. It still rotated back and fourth about an inch. I went to take it off and try again, and found that it was IMPOSSBILY STUCK ON THE CAMERA. I tried turning back and fourth for nearly an hour. Wouldn't budge. Since it is cheap and plastic I tried squeezing it hoping that it would bend enough to pop off. Nope. Then finally, I got it off by forcing it with a hard turn clockwise, and bending the DC58H at the same time. I probably shouldn't  more

Canon G9 Accessory

I bought this product mainly to protect my lens with an UV Filter. Turned out to be very useful, and very easy to install. Doesn't come with any instruction, and would say you donot need it. Although the viewfinder gets obstructed by the use of this conversion lens adapter, but pictures will be unaffected. Delivery by amazon was good but the super saver shipping takes quite a bit of time.

watch the little white dot

Canon LA-DC58H Conversion Lens Adapter for Canon G7 & G9 Digital Camerasbe carful when you open the box and are as happy to have this little adapter gadget as i was; however there are no instructions as to how to mount this item then is saw a button and pressed it, the adapter was in, i attached the wounderful wide angle lens and started taking pic. the lens weighs more than the camer so i decided to remove it until i needed it again. the lens adapter would not come off when i pressed the button!

long story short, the adapter is being cut buy a camera surgen at a cost of 50.00! there is a white dot on the adapter that must be lined up with the silver button inorder to set the adapter, if this is not done correctly, you will have the same problem so now i am purchasing a new adapter and my cost of ownership of this wounderful caamer has gone up buy another $100.00

Adapter and a lens hood for Canon G7 or G9

This adapter allows you to install accesory lenses, filters (58 mm), such as a polarizing filter, as well as serves as a lens hood, and helps protect lens from bumps or rain (at least to some extnet). It mounts quickly, after removing a ring protecting the bayonet mount on the camera.
