Product Description

Bring those far away subjects in close. The TC-DC58B converts the focal length of the body lens by a factor of approximately 1.5 (35 mm film equivalent at maximum telephoto: approximately 648 mm) when attached. The TCDC58B Telephoto Lens Converter screws into the front of the S2 IS's existing lens to provide greater magnification (1.5x), for those times when you are shooting distant subjects that you do not want to disturb, such as children, pets, or wildlife.

Very 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 better
As 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.

Not much bang...
Not much bang for your buck here. You still have to get reasonably close for this little thing to work.
