This adapter replaces the decorative ring on the Powershot cameras (I use an A620) and provides a 58mm thread to add filters or conversion lenses. This adapter is fine for filters or close-up lenses, but as it is made of molded plastic I don't think it is suitable for wide-angle or teleconverters, which can be very heavy. For the latter, I would recommend the LensMate adapter which is machined aluminum (I don't work for or get any compensation for this, their adapter is just better for heavy lenses). Be warned that with some non-Canon-recommended conversion lenses, your camera's built-in lens may bump the rear element at extreme zoom, so be careful!

If you have the canon a610 or the a620, and if you want to upgrade you camera, your going to need this adapter, it's easy to use and makes the work but it could be manufactured in a better material, the extra lenses are heavy and this adapter are made of plastic so you feel like the adapter are going to break, maybe canon in the future change the materials

This is first Canon product that has disappointed me with its quality. They must acquire them from their Chinese supplier for about 98 cents. This plastic device wobbles even when fully rotated to the detente position. I bought it to use with the Canon 250D close-up lens and it's barely adequate for that function. Canon should refund anyone who mistakenly bought one of these hockey pucks.

We needed a wide angle lens for our Canon. This does the job, except for a design flaw which might be a factor for others. When the flash is on, the wide angle lens covers part of the flash's light and casts a shadow. The shadow then appears on the shot.

This 58mm adaptor arrived very quickly in brand-new condition, and works precisely as expected and specified. I purchased 58mm filters locally, and have no problems. I am pleased with the transaction.

I think the real problem will come if you change constantly the lenses for the camera. I hope i explain well it: i feel this adapter as weak (the camera is for amateur photographers), the adapter is small and has an screw to connect each lens.

I thought a lens attachment for my camera would really help, but the lenses offered aren't that great. I don't think it's worth the money for this plus any additional lenses.

Dont bother upgrading your Power Shot Camera...Just buy a better one. The zoom lens ads a whole 5 ft to the view before the pixels become a big issue.
