Works Just as it Should [Posted on 2007-11-22]
What can you say about this adaptor? It's a circular hunk of plastic that allows you to add filters to your point-and-shoot camera. Since most shots in daylight benefit from a polarizer, this gives you the option of using one. It seems sturdy enough, installs easily and accepts any 58mm filter. As mentioned in other reviews, it will interfere somewhat with your flash, but you usually won't need a filter when you're using flash. All-in-all, a useful accessory for your A710IS camera.
Uses for Adaptor Ring [Posted on 2008-04-05]
I initially purchased this adapter to use with my Canon A720IS in order to add a circular polarizer.
With most SLR setups, your polarizer would be directly added next to the lens surface, and you would be viewing its effects through the lens. But using this adapter, the polarizer ends up being a couple of inches from the lens. Any speck of dust on the polarizer will be visible on the pictures. Also, the effect of the polarizer will not be visible through the optical viewfinder since you are not looking thought the lens. The adapter blocks your ability to use the optical viewfinder at all. The polarizing effect is noticeable on the digital viewscreen as you rotate the polarizer. But outdoors on a sunny day, you can barely see the screen so it doesn't work out so well. I have given up using the polarizer.
I did however purchase a soft rubber collapsible lens shade to attach to this adapter. It will be used to take photos through the plexiglass windows of small aircraft and helicopters. It will allow me to press the shade up against the window, preventing reflections. And it will not mar the window.
NOT for my Canon A720IS [Posted on 2008-05-17]
This adapter gets in the way period... borders on 4 corners. If I zoom in to lose the borders, then it's not as wide as it should be. I used it with the recommended WC-DC58N wide converter. I'll keep the wide angle converter and fit it to another camera.
Canon LA-DC58G Conversion Lens Adapter - Works AS Promised [Posted on 2008-05-22]
A no fuss adapter... Easy to attach to my Canon and that's pretty much it. I look forward to using some of the filter lenses that I also purchased.
Canon Power Shot A729IS can do even more! [Posted on 2008-06-21]
Canon has aways been a great product. Their converter allows you to do even more with your digital camara. Buy this first before investing in other lenses for your digital camera. you'll need it! It allows you to switch from one lens to an other. A must have first item!
