Optically its great but the 1.4x doesn't amount to much in the real world. You also have to remember to change the custom function when taking it on and off which is a small hassle.

I find I dont ever need it and wish I hadnt purchased it. Im sure ther is something stronger for less out there.

This lens (and adapter) is a useful extension to the Canon G-11's photo capabilities without having to go along the digital SLR path. The telephoto capabilities bring quite distant subjects into range (eg., birdlife). I have taken some very nice pictures of resident kestrels and their young chicks in a tree 25 yds from my house. I did however use a tripod as at long distances hand-held camera shake can present difficulties with the auto-focus capabilities of the Canon G-11 (but it does with SLRs too....I have a Canon F-1n film camera (although not auto-focus) with a 400 mm telephoto and that needs a tripod also!!).

Canon TC-DC58D Tele Converter Lens for Canon G10 Digital Camera (requires LA-DC58K Lens Adapter)Canon LA-DC58K Conversion Lens Adapter for Canon G10 Digital Cameras

This Tele Converter must be used with the LA-DC58K Lens Adapter. The problem occurs when you attempt to use a filter on the Lens adapter - the camera lens impacts the filter at full telephoto. As bad, the Lens Adapter causes vignetting at wide angle settings. Net net - the LA-DC58K fails at telephoto and wide angle settings and the TC-DC58D also vignettes at wide angle.

The parts being plastic results in dismantling only with great difficulty.
