Summary of Bower 52mm Wide Angle / Telephoto Adapter Tube - for Canon PowerShot G10 & G11

This metal two piece lens adapter set with 58mm threads is an alternative to the one piece plastic Canon LA-DC58K with 58mm threads for the G10 and G11

The problem with Canon's LA-DC58K lens adapter is that its over all length is 51.56mm, which works with Canon's telephoto lens ONLY, it was not designed for used with filters. When the camera's lens is fully zoomed in, it will extend pass the lens adapter by approximately 1mm, which is too short and will cause the lens crash issue when trying to use a filter or a third party telephoto lens, where the camera lens will actually come in contact with the back of the add-on optics, causing a lens error.

This problem is solved with this third party lens adapter, its overall length is 54.62mm, which is long enough to use any 58mm filters or third party lenses without lens crash. When the G10 or G11 is fully zoomed in, this adapter has approximately 2.5 threads extending pass the camera's lens. With this adapter, you are now able to use any third party lenses or filters of your choosing.
