5 out of 5 stars Wide Angle Lens for Canon S5   August 31, 2008
Guy Gold (Florida)
Bought this for a trip to Alaska recently and kept the lens on for most of the 200 pics . Love this easy to attach lens.


5 out of 5 stars Quality wide angle adapter   August 29, 2008
D. Harrison (Boston MA area, USA)
I bought a less expensive adapter a while back and found it to by unsatisfactory. The Canon one fits perfectly, has no apparent vignetting and works seamlessly with an S3-IS. Do not waste money trying to find something cheaper.


4 out of 5 stars Good lens to have in your bag...   August 28, 2008
Grayson Whitt (United States)
I have this lens and the teleconverter. The only drawback I have so far seen is that there is a dark arch in the bottom of the pictures when using the flash. I wish Canon had designed in threads for a UV-Haze filter, but they did not. That's a big piece of glass to be hanging out there with no protection from scratches and fingerprints. Be careful. Do not let idiots and people with butterfingers use your camera when this lens is attached. Rather, never let idiots and butterfingered dimbulbs use your camera. Period.


2 out of 5 stars Not very wide and blocks the flash   February 1, 2008

This lens only provides a modest bump in wide-angle coverage. Standing in an average room at home, it's the same as stepping back one foot. I'm not sure it's worth the money for that tiny gain.

Also, it partially blocks the flash on the S5. If you plan to use it with the built-in flash, expect the bottom third of each photo to be dark. Fun.



4 out of 5 stars Worked fine foe me!   January 26, 2008

The Canon WC-DC58A suited my Canon Powershot S5 IS just fine. I was able to use it after I opened the box and started shooting to see if if really made a difference. It did! But be mindful that it is bound to create a dark spot in the bottom of your pictures if you just use the built-in flash of the camera because the lens protrudes and it blacks out that area of any object or subject you wish to photograph. Best in outdoor photography or one where you do not need a flash. Or you can get a flash that attaches to the shoe of your camera and because of that, is elevated.
