5.0 out of 5 stars Works well for its design
True, this attachment blocks the pop-up flash of the s1-is, but I use an external strobe with a Wein photocell trigger on the bottom to compensate indoors.

The Wein attachment works with any strobe, make sure you get the one that ignores the red-eye reduction flashes (yeah, it's that good!)

If you are serious enough to use a camera of this quality, or the new s2, this is a small annoyance to get the wide angle capability this adapter offers.
