Digital camera reviews of Canon LAH-DC20 Conversion Lens Adapter (LA-DC58E) and Hood (LH-DC40) Set for the S5 IS, S3 IS & S2 IS Digital Camera
Digital camera Review: Don't like it, but you have to use it with filter and extra lens
Summary: 1 Stars
I have a S5 IS and I wanted to use filters. So I ordered this and once I started using it, I don't like it.
Screwing the filter on the adapter is not easy, taking it off is even harder. I've crack a UV lens while trying to unscrew the filter from the adapter. Luckily it was just an UV lens.
In addition, if you screw the hood on top of the filter, at 36mm wide angle zoom, you will see the corners of the picture are blocked by the hood. So unless you use the hood without filter, or always remember to zoom while using filter and hood.
Just think twice if you really need to use filters and extra lens before getting it.
Digital camera Review: Don't waste your time.
Summary: 1 Stars
Want to protect your lens, but don't waste your time with this product. Made from plastic & difficult to thread a filter on, but this is not the worst aspect. Conversion adapter is larger in size (moving to a 58mm diameter) and actually will cast a shadow when using a flash for closer images. It appears as a brown discoloration on the bottom of the image. Removed adapter and there is no shadow. Money would be better spent on a new camera that is already threaded for a filter / snap cover.Digital camera Review: Expensive But Essential.
Summary: 4 Stars
Pricey but essential. Good protection in case you bang your lens. A must have in order to use the wide angle screw on lens. Makes a great lens hood for eliminating flare. I would have given it a 5 if it wasn't so expensive for what it is.Digital camera Review: Get a Lensmate
Summary: 2 Stars
After going to store after store and even ebay and not been able to find the Canon adapter for under $36, I took into consideration at the Lensmate adapter for the S2/S3 IS. I just could not see myself paying so much money for a piece of cheap plastic. I became aware of the Lensmate adapter here on Amazon from reading people's opinions and I'm glad I did some research!
The Lensmate adapter is made from metal and it fits perfectly. I bought the 52mm adapter because it's cheaper to buy lenses and filters. I tried the Canon adapter, but it just didn't feel sturdy or like it could take a hit.
Digital camera Review: Get this, or something else, but get something!
Summary: 5 Stars
The short and sweet, I have my beautiful S3 sitting here with a series of deep jagged gouges in the front element. I had an estimate of $250- to repair it, and if I shoot in the general direction of the sun at all, it has heavy glare, as you would expect. (obviously I'm getting a new one for a bit more).
Note, if you have an S3 instead of a 2 then the black is good.
