Canon TC-DC58N Teleconverter Lens

Strengths: Works with same adapter used by wide angle lens; Comes in a nice leather carry pouch

Weakness: Would be nice if it were 2x, but 1.75 isn't bad; heavy.

The 1.75x TC-DC58N telephoto lens is a nice addition to the Canon G3/G5. The camera is HUGE with the attachment, but it looks pretty cool. Filters have to be attached to the backside of the lens between the lens adapter and the lens itself.
