Photo : Canon TC-DC58B Tele Converter Lens for S5 IS, S3 IS & S2 IS Digital Camera |
- Much better that cheaper telephoto lensesI purchased this lens for my S2IS. The biggest difference is the drastic reduction in purple fringing that I have seen with a non-canon teleconverter lens (purchased by a friend) for his S2IS. Good quality and good material.

- See furtherVery good lens. I use this lens on my Canon S5 it get's the job done plus there is a setting in the camera that recongnizes the lens. Just another canon product doing it's thing. I highly recommend it you can definitely see a difference and since the S5 is known for having some noise in the pictures when using the digital zoom I just turn that off and shoot straight through the converter for flawless pictures.

- 1.5 is nice 2.0 would be betterAs a 1.5x converter, this lens deserves 5 stars. The optics appear to be flawless and the quality is good. As far as I know it is the only game in town for extending the range of this family of camera. That is a pity, because these cameras deserve more.
This converter really needs to be a 2.0x converter to fill the need most people have for it. If you have one of Canon's "mega-zoom" lens cameras such as the S2, S3, S5 IS that reach out to 432mm (35mm equivalent) then the 1.5 does get you somewhere. If you do not have a long lens on your camera, 1.5 won't be enough multiplier to get you where you want to go. If you have a large number of pixels, you can use this lens and crop the result with good effect.

- so far, so good.I've owned my Canon Powershot S5 IS since October and just recently purchased the tele converter lens and lens adapter (required). I love this lense so far and have been able to take some great shots that appear to be crisp and without blur. I had read other reviews that said the edges of the pictures were blurry, I have not had this problem. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because you have to zoom out a bit in order to get rid of the "tunnel" the lens creates when you are taking pics. This is kind of a cool way to frame the picture, but not always ideal for every situation.
