 "Works well for its design" 2005-08-25
By K. Olinsky (humid Miami FL)
True, this attachment blocks the pop-up flash of the s1-is, but I use an external strobe with a Wein photocell trigger on the bottom to compensate indoors. You can mount it on a bracket with the camera, or handhold the flash to avoid red-eye, bounce off the ceiling, or angle the light from the side.

The Wein attachment works with any strobe, make sure you get the one that ignores the red-eye reduction flashes (yeah, it's that good!)



If you are serious enough to use a camera of this quality, or the new s2, this is a small annoyance to get the wide angle capability this adapter offers.

 "not to be used with flash" 2004-04-23
By Arnold Bartel (Graz, Austria)
Wide converter lenses normally make sense to be used indoors where space is limited. But the WC-DC52a can hardly be used there, because its big diameter results in a very big shadow on each flash-lighted foto (in addition the Powershot S1 IS doesn't support external flashlights).
So buy this lens only when you want to use it outside!

 "Right what I needed" 2007-06-30
By J. Moreno
I use it with a S3-IS and is perfect for my kid's birthdays and other events when the subject is a table-wide away. If you use the camera's built in flash, be careful to point your shots a little lower or buy an auxiliary flash like the HF-DC1 because it may make a small oval shadow on the bottom of the shot, that will need to be removed by cropping.

Quite a good wide converter lens. It works well with the 58mm
lens adapter. Comes with front and back caps and also with a
fantastic pouch for keeping it in.

The only problem with this wide converter is that the built-in
flash on my Powershot G1 doesn't reach the right hand side of
the photograph when the lens is on. This is also the problem
with the light-sensor lamp and the red-eye reduction lamp.
Shouldn't be a problem with daylight and outdoor shooting
though.

 "Great everyday lens" 2008-10-27

This lens is great. It's the only lens I use. The only problem is that it's so easy to use and takes such great photos, that I'm thinking of spending more money and getting a faster lens.

 "All-purpose lens" 2008-09-18
By Trent Veazey (Houston, Tx)
This is an ideal all-around lens. 85mm is great for portraits while 17mm creates a beautiful wide angle shot. The f-stop bottoms out at 4-5.6 but the IS makes up for this. For the money, this is a great lens for 1.6 crop cameras.



I give the lens 4 stars because there is some CA at 17mm, but depending on the subject its hardly ever noticed. In fact, I love using this lens at 17mm, at that zoom, you can get much more creative aw-inspiring images.

 "Makes a good photographer better" 2008-07-05
By Charles L. Griffin Jr. (Daytona Beach, Fla)
Wanting to have a light kit for four months on the (rail)roads in Europe, I acquired a Canon XTi, 10-22mm zoom, the 17-85 IS zoom and 70-300 USM III IS zoom. I got them all in the six months before going and tested them thoroughly in my typical shooting of flowers, scenery, animals and grandkids.



On the trip I was surprised at how tough the little XTi was--and how good the sensor. Another surprise was the fact that the 17-85mm was used virtually all the time. The wide zoom was used for about ten percent of the 8600 images I shot and the 70-300 very rarely. If I were to go on another such journey, I would not hesitate to use the 17-85mm IS lens on an APS-sensor Canon as my only lens--it proved to be that good. I might add a polarising filter for reducing reflections and a walking stick and small beanbag for those places where monopods are not welcomed.



The photos have proved stunning, whether macro, panoramic scenes or street scenes. The European Union has passed some rather stringent rules protecting a person's rights to their own image, so you have to be careful not to do closeups of individuals without permission or you will be explaining very quickly that you are not shooting for commercial purposes.



I've seen many comparisons where this lens is not rated as highly as the L glass, but even in this computer-crafted technology, there are individual lenses that rise above the standard or sink below it. Perhaps I've always been lucky, because I've never been disappointed by Canon.

 "Highly recommend" 2008-03-25
By Jean-pierre Le Clair (Riverside, CA)
I recently purchased this lens as a complement to the other two IS lenses I have. The Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras and the Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens for Canon EOS SLR Cameras.



The IS function allows a 2 to 3 stop slower shutter speed. Fantastic when shooting where flash is not allowed or where you want the extra depth of field a smaller aperature will give you.



As a bonus it has Macro capabilities.

 "Versatility & impressive Image Stabilization" 2007-11-21
By Scott Broughton (Massachusetts USA)
I have owned this lens for a year. It has amazed me that coupled with instant ISO changes, I can take virtually any photo in natural light without flash. IS is the true beauty of the lens. I recently traveled to the south pacific and there discovered that I am able to take photos after dusk at sub 1/40th sec. exposures with absolutely no blurring. The results are stunning. Optically it is not the best lens I own, but this IS the workhorse lens for my EOS XTi. Once you experience the superior IS there is simply no going back to std lenses.

Works extremely well. DOF you will never ever get on a large sensor. Only difference from wide open to F8 is DOF - sharp wide open. I shot bees from about 6 feet at 600mm equivalent. I get a 300mm to 600mm range without vignetting.



The lenses did collide so only a 4 rating.

 "Useful 1.6X tele" 2004-11-12

Nice clear images. Some purple fringing when exposing bright, highlighted objects. Comes with 2 plastic caps (for lens and 52mm threads) and a vinyl bag. No front threads for filters. Magnification (1.6x) is moderate. Must use almost full tele to avoid vignettes (black outlines)--that's normal with all teles.



Also works well with Canon Powershot G3 with 3rd party 52mm lens adapter. Recommended.

After i bought this product i saw the comments: when you use it without zoom in your camera, you see the object of pic into a circle. Also another disadvantage is that if you want to take a pic with flash, this lens blocks the light and the pic is divided: mid size is ok but the other size is black or dark.

 "Suitable for distance subjects" 2007-05-22
By L. Saul
This lens is well worth the money if, like me, you bought the A710 IS in part for its 6x zoom, recording wildlife encounters is important to you, and you don't want to carry around an extra camera for such occasions.



The main shortcoming of this converter is that it increases the minimum focus distance (at camera's longest zoom) to a whopping 6 ft. At this distance, the field of view is about 7.6 inches wide. Without the converter, at longest zoom, you can get down to a view about 4.1 inches wide, at about 22 inches from the subject. So, regrettably this means that if you want to capture miscellaneous subjects in nature that may be approachable (butterflies, lizards, whatever), you can probably get a much better closeup without the converter. I suspect it will mostly sit in my bag just in case I see a large animal standing around (but not too far away), in which case it can really improve the shot (almost doubling the subject's size).



You will probably not use it unless the subject is really special and worth digging the converter out. But it is helpful that a large leatherette bag is included with this lens so you can leave the adapter attached to the lens and just pop the whole thing on and off.



In an effort to get closer to the subject, I have experimented with reducing the zoom while the converter is attached. This seems pretty useless. For example, at 1x the view was ca. 4 inches across, 2 inches from the subject. At around 2x, at closest focus, you get ca. 3.5 inches across at 2.5 inches away. At around 3-4x, the closest distance goes up to 6 ft.



Vignetting seems a minor issue because you will mostly use this converter when zoomed all the way out. However, I could imagine situations where you are mostly shooting distant elk or something and you want to take a quick landscape shot without removing the converter. FYI, slight vignetting starts to appear when you drop a little below the halfway zoom (maybe ca. 3x), but even at 1x (35 mm equiv.) where you have almost a completely circular vignette, you still have plenty of real estate left in your image so it is not a big deal if you know how to crop out the blackened edges; but it is easy enough to pop the whole thing off, so that is what you would do instead.



In the end, the best thing (for me anyway) would be a highly compact camera with a built-in 10 or 12x zoom with good optics. This doesn't exist yet, so I bought the next-best thing, the A710 IS with about half the zoom I'd like (but much more than the competition among good compact cameras). But once that commitment is made, it's definitely worth having the 1.75 teleconverter as well. I may even buy an extra adapter ($20) so I can quickly pop on/off either this or the closeup lens without having to screw things together.

 "Solid lens from Canon" 2007-01-29
By Camel Driver (US)
The optical x6 zoom on the Canon A710 IS is already better than cameras in it s range (i.e. non SLR). However, the zoom takes the picture up to the natural size; the tele converter lens really does make a difference.



Firstly, if there are any negatives, they are very minor; the lens and adapter are black - would have been nice to have been silver to match with the camera. Erm, that's it!



The main quality of Canon is the lens, which they always do well. The clarity of this lens is very good, with very little fuzziness at the edge. It also connects simply the adapter and seems fairly solid when connected. The electronics features help in the overall control of adding the attachment. The tele lens does make a difference for just getting that bit closer to get what you want.

 "Inexpensive way to expand camera capabilities " 2007-01-04
By F. Cech
This lens is a good way to extend the capabilities of a general purpose camera for an amature photographer. Overall all quality and color accuracy of the digital images is good. The large lens diameter blocks the view finder, forcing one to rely on LCD screen for framing. The camera sometimes gets confused during action shots taking longer than normal to auto focus - a minor inconvenience.



Lens requires an adapter - a seperate piece to keep track of.

 "Canon LA-DC58J Adapter for A650IS" 2008-04-09
By B. Swenson (Eugene, OR)
$25 is a lot for a piece of plastic. If you don't already have filters it will cost much more than $25. It seems well made but you must exercise care when screwing a metal filter into the adapter, the threads are plastic. With a filter attached there can be slight cropping of the corners at the wide end. Being plastic it adds little weight to the camera, but does increase the bulk. The adapter does partially block the viewfinder, but I find the screen is bright and detailed enough for most conditions. The A650IS is a relatively large, slow point and shoot camera that excels at taking pictures in adequate light (ISO 200 or lower). This adapter (and filters) make the camera more flexible and adaptable to conditions. The bottom line is I can take much better pictures using this adapter (and filters) and still have a compact camera that weighs just over a pound.

 "Conversion adapter and tele for A650" 2008-04-05
By Chris Inoue (Santa Fe, NM)
The backordered adapter took over a month to get. I ran out of patience with Amazon and final bought one from another online retailer. The plastic adapter fits okay, but there is minor slop in the fit. The tele is large, heavy and vignettes the image until the lens is zoomed to near the maximum. The images are very sharp at this point, add a bit of digital zoom and still get a decent image at 24X. It's useful for specialty shots but I'd recommend if you primarily want long zoom, get a digital camera with an integrated 18X zoom.

 "LA-DC58J Review" 2008-04-03
By R. Dabkowski (San Diego, CA)
The LA-DC58J is and adapter that is designed specifically for the Canon A650IS camera to allow the use/attachment of the Canon WC-DC58B Wide angle and TC-DC58C Telephoto Lenses. This adapter is made of black plastic, is fairly sturdy, and has 58 mm plastic threads for the attachment of the lenses. Attachment to the camera body is quick and easy as it attaches with about a ¼ turn in a quick lock attachment. Once attached to the camera body is has a tiny bit of play/looseness but is not loose enough to be of a concern. See the picture I posted for how it looks installed. Note however that because the threads are plastic and you have to be fairly careful to not cross thread or over tighten the Lenses.



I have the Canon Wide angle lens which is fairly large and heavy and its body and threads are made of metal. The Canon WC-DC58B Wide Angle lens thread design has some metal that extends beyond the threads which provides a bit of a guide to make threading into the LA-DC58J adapter easier and with less chance of cross threading. I found that the Canon Wide Angle lens screws into the LA-DC58J adapter with ease.



The LA-DC58J provides one bonus that is not mentioned in the Canon documentation. You can use this adapter to add 58mm filters to your A650IS. You might want to purchase this adapter for this reason alone! However, you can not install the Wide Angle or Telephoto lenses with a filter installed on the LA-DC58J adapter. For the filters I used, the filter's female thread depth will not engage the male Wide Angle lens' threads. This is due to that bit of extra metal that extends beyond the threads on the Wide Angle adapter. I suspect the Telephoto lens has the same issue. Canon's documentation also states that you can not install a filter on these lenses.



I give it 4 stars out of 5 because it is made of plastic and not metal like some of the other Canon adapters.

 "Causes a shadow when using the flash but seems to be a good product." 2008-03-10
By StoryTeller
Got this to hold a UV filter (mainly to protect main lens).

Converter attached to my Canon A650 easily and correctly. Seems to be well made. No problems. UV filter attached to converter easily and securely. No problems.

Have had it only a few weeks so cannot report on durability other than to say it's still functioning as expected.

HOWEVER, when using the flash I remove the converter (easy and quick) because it causes a shadow on the lower right side of photo. When done with flash I reattach the converter (again, easy and quick). In order to protect the main lens with a UV filter I must have the converter. The shadow problem is a very small problem that can easily be overcome. Protecting the main lens is more important.

 "High-end closeup lens performs flawlessly" 2007-08-29
By Reynolds J. Saunders (Beverly Hills, CA United States)
After switching to digital SLR, I had a Nikon 35-105mm zoom lens needing a use. I did not have a true macro lens, and bought this closeup lens. Besides giving me almost 1:1 enlargement, I extended the distance from the subject so the lens doesn't cast a shadow from on-camera flash. The pictures are sharp as a tack (probably from using the center of the lens's field), and I am producing saleable closeups of flowers and small wildlife with this combo, extending the lens to 105mm for extreme closeups. The quality is much better than the built-in "macro" setting on the lens itself, probably because the lens is zoomed out for that setting. No vignetting, no distortion perceptible. A fine investment!
