Canon WC-DC58N Wide Angle Lens ConverterStrengths: Canon quality lens; comes with a nice drawstring bag for protection. Pictures are defintely wider then with standard lens. Weakness: Because of the size, auto focusing may not be possible. Also, built-in flash pictures WILL cast a shadow on the lower right of every photo (on my Canon Powershot G5), also due to the lens size. Even though there are weaknesses as described, because of the versatility of my camera (Powershot G5) I am able to compensate for those issues. Switching to manual focusing should resolve that issue and if a flash is needed, I can attach one.

Canon WC-DC58N Wide Angle Lens ConverterStrengths: Works perfectly with the camera Weakness: None. I love this lense. It makes taking photos with my beloved Canon G3 even more fun. It comes especially handly when I tried to take some photos of a large waterfall with rainbow. The resulted picture looks terrific. It's huge, compared to the camera itself, but it does look cool.

Buyers BewareStrengths: Can be used as a paper-weight. Weakness: Major distortion. Mind boggling color shifts. One dealer is selling an OEM lens on this sight. It is NOT made by Canon and based on my one use of this OEM lens, Canon would never sell a poor quality lens like the one I am stuck with. The distortion would only be acceptable from a Fish-eye lens. Even worse everything in the photo has a blue outline on one side and a yellow outline on the other- a major color shift. After only using the lens...

Canon WC-DC58N Wide Angle Lens ConverterStrengths: Easy to use, excellent quality. Weakness: Bulky, no filter threads, barrel distortion is increased. I was quite surprised by how well this wide angle converter works. It's sharp and clear. The only negatives are it's size and the increased barrel distortion it introduces (curvature of vertical objects), although some barrel distortion is to be expected with a wide angle lens. If you want to increase your field of view with a Canon G3 - G6 digital camera, this wide angle converter fits the bill...

Nice wide angle lens
Strengths: Nice lens, takes great wide angle pictures
Weakness: Very bulky, but this is to be expected
Overall, this is a very nice lens. It comes with its own lens bag and has caps for both front and back. Would be better if the front cap fit a bit more snugly since I'm afraid of it coming off in the bag. Besides that, no other problems.
