I purchased one of these lens adapters instead of the Canon product because I already had several filters and hoods for the 58mm threads. It is a nice product. Sturdy black anodized aluminum as opposed to the Canon product, which is plastic. I can't detect any vignetting or flash shadows caused by the lens adapter, but adding a lens hood does create problems. I leave the adapter on the lens with a skylight filter just to protect the objective lens element, which is exposed. Looks good on the S-3 so I just leave it there. Only problem is--the tabs that lock into the bayonet mount around the S-3 lens are undersized. The adapter locks into place OK, but then it's a little loose and rattles in the mount. I put some tape around the tabs to take up the extra space until I can find a better solution. That said, I like the product.

I just received my Digital Concepts Lens Adapter, I have the Canon S5 IS. The lens cap that comes standard with this otherwise great camera was simply driving me crazy! Darn thing kept popping off constantly. This Lens Adapter, other than looking like an absolutely great part of the camera, also allows for a new/firmer Canon lens cap (with eyelet and string) to be put on the Apapter (58mm)... one that is totally secure ... and problem solved! I put a 58mm UV filter on the lens adapter, and we are in total business. FINALLY: That initial lens cap was designed to pop off if you powered up the lens to take pictures (so you wouldn't mess up the lens motor). Unfortunately, as you well know, it pops off if you breathe in its direction. The Lens Adapter extends just a bit past the extended lens, so there is no accidental "crash." If you are going wild over that initial Canon lens cap, BUY THIS PRODUCT!!

The adapter I received doesn't look anything like the picture, but it works just fine on an S5 IS. No rattle, locks up tight, and works with the Canon 58 mm haze filter just fine. Plenty of room under the adapter to zoom the lens; no interferrence anywhere. Black color matches the camera body; looks like a factory part, but much more durable due to aluminum construction. Cameta Camera had it to me in a couple of days, not bad since it came to the Left Coast from back east.

I bought this lens adapter for my Canon S2 IS and am quite happy with it. It works and my filters don't get stuck threaded onto it like they do on the more expensive metal Canon version which I bought first.

The first shipment of this adapter was silver, made for S2 IS. After two calls back to the company, they finally sent the black model, as originally ordered. This adapter fits nice and tight, and works great with the haze filter and 58 mm Canon lens cap. Highly recommend this for S5 users.

This lens adaptor is awesome! It fits my camera perfectly and works well with my new 55-250 lens. The price on this adaptor was great compared to everywhere else I looked - online and in retail stores. Would do business with this seller again. Lens came in the time I was told and in the condition listed(it was used). Thanks!

I ordered this item for my Canon S5IS so I would be able to use camera Filters, Polarizer, Neutral Density etc. I ordered the Digital Concepts lens adapter, but the one I got was stamped with the Opteka brand. I have no complaints with the Opteka that I received, it is made of aluminum and very sturdy. It attaches to my S5 very snugly and it makes using filters a breeze.

Fits well on adaptor or any 58mm filter. It cuts the corners off slightly when the camera is at its widest setting. I didn't notice any "fisheye effect". Can't beat the price.

Really solid product. Fits tight, works great with lens filters and adapters. Awesome product. Works well with the S5IS!

Great price, thanks!

A friend lost one of my aftermarket Canon Powershot S3 Lens Adapters at a party and I needed to replace it. (Avoid the actual Canon adapters - overpriced and plastic.)

This one is by "Opteka" and is very solid, tight and although stamped with a S5 marking, it fits the S3 superbly....and I prefer it over my old "Lensfilter" one, which rattled a bit.

I highly recommend this item for S3/S5 users...and the price is great.
