 A must-have May 12, 2007

If you wish to use filters or add-on lenses for the Canon G7, you MUST have this accessory. No, this does not mean I really recommend it - it means you must have it. All the lenses and filters attach to this converter, and without it none of the optical accessories for the G7 can be used. Once you do get it, you have the option of buying a whole variety of filters that have a 58mm diameter - a fantastic option if you wish to use polarized or UV filters with your Canon G7. If you want to have the ability to quickly switch between lenses or filters, get more than one of these, as it is easier to attach and detach this adapter from the camera than it is to screw on and off the filters or lenses to this adapter.

ok, but made of plastic. lensmate makes a better version out of aluminium, which is actually available. When fitted with a good uv filter and left on the camera it looks great, makes the camera better balanced, protects the lens mechanism, and also works as a great lens hood.
Adapter and a lens hood for Canon G7 or G9 September 10, 2007

This adapter allows you to install accesory lenses, filters (58 mm), such as a polarizing filter, as well as serves as a lens hood, and helps protect lens from bumps or rain (at least to some extnet). It mounts quickly, after removing a ring protecting the bayonet mount on the camera.

I recently purchased this dinky overpriced piece of plastic for my G9.
But the build quality isn't the main problem here. The main problem is that it comes with no instructions whatsoever. Now, this is a pretty simple accessory and I'm a reasonably intelligent person, so I didn't think this would be much of a problem.
I was wrong. I removed the bayonet ring as all the reviews say you must do. I see a white dot on the DC58H, none on the camera. So I gently put the DC58H on with the white dot near the top and it appeared to snap into position. But it wasn't. It still rotated back and fourth about an inch. I went to take it off and try again, and found that it was IMPOSSBILY STUCK ON THE CAMERA. I tried turning back and fourth for nearly an hour. Wouldn't budge. Since it is cheap and plastic I tried squeezing it hoping that it would bend enough to pop off. Nope. Then finally, I got it off by forcing it with a hard turn clockwise, and bending the DC58H at the same time. I probably shouldn't have done this, and I'm lucky the camera wasn't damaged.
After this incident, I noticed that there is an alignment mark on the G9, but it isn't white, its just an indentation that can easily be mistaken for a spec of dust. The DC58H does attach properly when aligned, if you have a magnifying glass to find the mark.
Shame on Canon for selling an overpriced piece of junk, for a flawed design that allows it to go on wrong and get stuck, and most of all for being too cheap and stupid to include an instruction sheet that would only need to be the size of a post it and cost less than a cent.
Before you waste your money on this, google the lensmate, which is essntially a 3rd party metal version of this thing for only a few dollars more. Maybe it even comes with instructions and is designed well enough not to get stuck on your camera in the wrong position. I'll find out when I get mine.

Canon LA-DC58H Conversion Lens Adapter for Canon G7 & G9 Digital Camerasbe carful when you open the box and are as happy to have this little adapter gadget as i was; however there are no instructions as to how to mount this item then is saw a button and pressed it, the adapter was in, i attached the wounderful wide angle lens and started taking pic. the lens weighs more than the camer so i decided to remove it until i needed it again. the lens adapter would not come off when i pressed the button!
long story short, the adapter is being cut buy a camera surgen at a cost of 50.00! there is a white dot on the adapter that must be lined up with the silver button inorder to set the adapter, if this is not done correctly, you will have the same problem so now i am purchasing a new adapter and my cost of ownership of this wounderful caamer has gone up buy another $100.00
