Customer Reviews

Read the manual
After reading all of the negative reviews I couldn't believe canon would sell a product without instructions. I reviewed the manual and THERE ARE instructions on who to use the conversion lens adapter, the optional lenses and even the external flash!

Sure, it is essential.
This product is very good and I would choose high-impact plastic (which it is) over any metal material. The plastic is light and tough and will not wear away the vital surfaces on the camera; mine is a G9, or the accessories. The fact is you may want one of these for each of your accesories so that you can leave it attached always, 3 individual adapters would be enough...wide lens, tele lens and a 58mm polarizer. The end used for the accessory is a screw-on with fine threads, so having each accessory already attached is a major short-cut. The other end is a modified bayonet and goes on and off pretty quick.

I do believe Canon should include "cheap" end caps for the camera (bayonet) end so that the attached adapter is sealed. The end cap that comes with the lens is too big. And for the price of this adapter it should include the cap.

A great accessory for your Canon G7 ot G9
While this accessory is kind of expensive for what it is, (just a simple piece of plastic), it is necessary for use with the optional Canon converter lenses. As a stand alone accessory, it acts as a lens hood for the built-in G7/G9 lens, and also allows you to attach 58mm lens filters. I do recommend it, but I only gave it a rating of "4 stars" because it is overpriced.
