Canon TC-DC58B Tele Converter Lens for S5 IS, S3 IS & S2 IS Digital Camera
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.

Canon TC-DC58B Tele Converter Lens for S5 IS, S3 IS & S2 IS Digital Camera Reviews
The hood does not stay secure over the lens, but if you carry a small roll of tape, you can use a couple pieces to secure it.
Like others, I know this is a zoom lens, but wish you could be able to back off the zoom a bit with out getting the tunnel effect.
I have only used this in practice, but came out with some very good, clear results.
For those complaining about not being able to use the tele-converter with a filter, note that the hood included with the adapter is threaded for 58mm filters.
Amazon price is considerably less.
I think it will work out well, though.
As to price, it's fair, especially as DSLR lenses run in the thousands, not mere $200.00 and less.
Oh, yes, I purchsed this lens from Canon, and the.
They run about 24 bucks. http://outdoors.webshots.com/photo/2795425630046342862gKeYmb. http://outdoors.webshots.com/photo/2676004980046342862FnHdQd.vhost=outdoors. Canon LAH-DC20 Conversion Lens Adapter (LA-DC58E) and Hood (LH-DC40) Set for the S5 IS, S3 IS & S2 IS Digital Camera. This takes amazing pictures.
One warning. Here is an example of my camera without the lens. So if you put it on and dont want to use the zoom, you are a pinhead.
You have to get the adapter for this. This is with it. I read one review that said that there is a circle when not zoomed in.
You can see how much it reaches out. Here is an example of the circle http://outdoors.webshots.com/photo/2445322610046342862IUtNrR.vhost=outdoors.
I got two, one for my tele and one for wide, so they are easy to switch out. This is true, however, this lens is made for reaching out far.
In fact, I could get the same magnification by minimally employing the digital zoom feature. I don't like spending over a $100 for something and being left with the feeling that I did not get much bang for my buck. Beware and think twice about buying this. I doubt it will get me much closer at all.
Don't expect a lot. What disappointed me was that the extra magnification I got was a lot less than I expected. I don't see where those who rated this a 4 or 5 even mentioned the fact that you will not get much closer with this lens. I took non-digital zoom shots, at full magnification, with and without the converter and was instantly disappointed. There was little difference in the two shots.
I just received the Canon TC-DC58B and put it to the test. I've read through the reveiws and would agree with the quality of the lens, etc. I am going to Alaska for the first time soon and was hoping the lens would help me get up close and personal with nature.
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. I purchased this lens for my S2IS. Good quality and good material.
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. 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.
