Canon LAH-DC20 Conversion Lens Adapter (LA-DC58E) and Hood (LH-DC40) Set for the S5 IS, S3 IS & S2 IS Digital Camera
This conversion lens adapter and hood set is required for mounting the wide converter and tele-converter to the camera.
The Canon LA-HDC20 allows you to connect converter lenses to your Canon S2 IS digital camera for increased flexibility. It works with these separately sold Canon converter lenses: - Canon WC-DC58A Wide Converter Lens: Converts the focal length of the body lens by a factor of approximately 0.75 (35mm film equivalent at maximum wide angle: approximately 27mm) when attached.
- Canon TC-DC58B Tele Converter Lens: Converts the focal length of the body lens by a factor of approximately 1.5 (35 mm film equivalent at maximum telephoto: approximately 648mm) when attached.
- Canon 500D 58mm Close-Up Lens: Double-element accessory attaches to front of lens; changes closest focusing distance from infinity to 500mm (approximately 19.7 inches) from front of lens.
The LA-HDC20 includes a lens hood, which reduces that lens flare will mar your photos, and also helps to shield the lens from scratches and impacts.

You do need to buy this if you want to attach other lenses to your camera. Great product.
I feel the lens adapter will save me alot of money in repairs on the lens assembly in the future. I like that the camera if the second adapter is on the camera doesn't lengthen the camera to speak of. I have to keep the camera in everything from a back pack that is thrown into a truck and setting on the radio system in the truck. I am Deployed to Kosovo, I feel that (if anything) the lens adapter is well worth the cost for the simple fact I dont have to baby the camera in a hostile fire zone. I can throw the camera down in an instant if the mission dictates without having to worry about damaging the lens assembly.
worth the $. an kind of useful. you need the kit for protection. well made plastic.
Its much quicker to change out the filters and lenses by having an adapter on all of them rather than screw on a different filter or lens on one adapter to change them out. Works well with my Canon Powershot S5 IS. Though I did find a seller on the net who has the metal adapter alone for a much cheaper price so ended up getting two more adapters through that site to use with my filters and lenses.
the two polarizers double as my variable neutral density filters. This is a black set which might not match silver canon s3is models, but the matte black will perfectly match you black s series camera. Also when purchasing this or any other adapter tube you will need to get a new lens cap as the original lens cap will not fit you camera anymore. this 58mm adapter tube lets the photographer attach either one of the two canon lenses (wide angle or telephoto), and filters more importantly. The hood is very important as it will help with lens flares. that being said it also matches the camera body build material which is plastic. You will have a lot more fun with this attachment and really increase the abilities of your camera.
get this or an alternative you will have a lot more fun with your camera with this modest investment and another modest investment in filters. This adapter and hood is really a great value for those who would like to increase thier options when shooting with thier canon s2,3, or 5 camera. Lensmate also offers a silver adapter. just get a good set of filters, I have a UV, Circular Polarizing, Linear polarizing, and IR. but the original was not the safest as it did not really lock onto the threads. DX offers low priced adpaters but are not perfect and have slight wiggle. though not cheap plastic some might want other options like a lensmate or dealextreme aluminum adapter ring.
you do not need the wide angle or telephoto lenses as the built in lens is more than adequate.
