This review is from: Canon LA-DC58G Conversion Lens Adapter for the Canon A700, A710IS & A720IS Digital Cameras (Electronics)

I have a Canon A710IS. I bought this adaptor to use with the 1.75x teleconverter and the 250D closeup lens. After I received it I was happy to realize that I have some 58 mm filters lying around and these can be used on this adapter (without vignetting). So this adapter can really open up some new possibilities. (Note: the closeup lens also has a thread to mount filters, but the teleconverter does not.)

A nice feature is that it is very easy to pop the adapter on/off the camera ("quick release"). Unfortunately, no case is provided with this adapter. My suggestion/idea is to buy one adapter per converter lens and keep it threaded permanently to that lens. This would be the most convenient way to use it in the field. The bag that comes with the teleconverter is big enough for this, but for the closeup lens, only a small filter box is provided so you'll need to buy a larger container if the adapter is kept threaded onto it.

The main disadvantage of this adapter is that it wil cause shadowing in flash close-ups (see my review of the 250D).

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars NOT for my Canon A720IS, May 17, 2008

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.
