Although these items are not specifically manufactured by the Canon corporation, I have found that they are actually BETTER than the Canon items. Canon offers a plastic lens adapter, this one is real metal, and actually fits more snug on the camera than the Canon adapter. Canon offers lenses with plastic housings, these are metal.

I used to have the Canon adapter and 1.5x zoom lens only, and those two items alone cost as much as this entire kit. This kit is a steal for anyone who is looking to upgrade the capabilities of their Powershot. The equivalent Canon items would literally cost several hundred dollars, probably more than the cost of the camera itself.

I bought these lenses to go with my Powershot A630. I was a little hesitant to order anything not made or recommended by Canon, but after receiving these I might consider other off brand items. First off these lenses, and the corresponding adaptor, are made of metal, the Canon adaptor is made of plastic and appears cheaply made.
Right away I attached the 2x magnifier and took a few sample pictures....also took exact same pictures with only the camera zoom. What a difference the 2x lense made. The center of the images were nice and clear with only slight fringing on the outer edges...which I think could have been due to several factors, not only the lense.
These might not be perfect lenses for pros but let's face it, most pros don't use P&S cameras opting instead for DSLRs! For the rest of us, these make a great alternative to the high priced lenses made by Canon.

To answer E. YEN "David"'s question: Yes, the set includes the adapter. The one included is actually made of metal, not plastic like the $20 Canon LA-DC58F Conversion Lens Adapter, the lenses include also two sets of metal adapter rings I'm guessing the 54 mm is for the A610 and the 52 mm are to fit the filters to the lenses.

The adapter comes in a carton box, but the lenses come in little vinyl bags, they're not only cute but also give protection.

I haven't got the chance to take a lot of pictures with the filters, but I'm very pleased with the zoom and macro, of course is only 0.5 x and 2.0x, but that's all an amateur like me needs so far.
