Home > Consumer Reviews > Canon LA-DC58H Conversion Lens Adapter for Canon G7 & G9 Digital Cameras

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.

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.

You need this item for the G7 and G9 if you intend to use filters, a lens-hood, or converter (tele or wide-angle). It does its job.

This allows you to put a filter on the G9 and provides a slightly more traditional and positive grip for the photographer. Nice.
