Digital camera Review: Canon Lens Adapter LADC58E
Summary: 1 Stars
Made of plastic so the threads are tricky when attaching my teleconverter lens. I bought a third party aluminum adapter after this one that is fantastic and does not have thread problems. As this is a Canon product I figured it would have been made much better. Pretty lousy for what it cost. I don't recommend it.Digital camera Review: Canon Lover

The conversion adapter and Hood is great and it gives the S5 a nice look and feel. The one thing is when you are using the lens adapter you can see a circle until you extend the zoom some, but even with that I have been able to get some nice effects with the pictures in the circle. So it has it's advantage too.Digital camera Review: Cheap but effective

The adapter and lens hood are plastic and have a less-than-sturdy feel. However they do mount securely and perform as expected.
Two things to note, the conversion kit does not come with any instructions so you have to figure out how to actually mount it. Hint: the "D-shaped" button at the base of the camera lens releases a small ring at the top of the camera lens by a small turn of the ring. This is where the adapter mounts.
The other item is that at full wide zoom, the corners of a picture may be obscured when using a filter with the hood in place. I've had this same problem with film cameras in the past so not a big problem. You should just be aware.

You need to remove a ring from the front of the lens to install this. Don't lose the ring. You won't always want this on the camera. The adapter does not hook to the lens. It hooks to the camera and the lense moves inside it. As a result it's longer than the lens and a bit bulky. A standard case will not fit over it. This unit is best when you intend to keep the camera in a camera/gadget bag. It holds lens adapters and filters nicely. If you intend to leave the adapter on the camera, get a 58mm lens cap. The standard one won't fit. By the way, you may want to forgo the wide angle adapter. The camera software does a great job of photo stitching. you can get the equivilent of wide angle without the distortion.
