Plastic not bad July 23, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I see a lot of people complaining about this Lens Adapter because it's made of plastic. Granted, I don't have a metal one to compare it with, however it seems just fine for me! The filters and lens hood screw on smoothly and easily. I've got no complaints.

+ its light
+ made by Canon so it should be the best for the camera and image quality
+ Must buy because of the S series terrible lens caps
- its light
- much cheaper alternatives

It does turn a noticeable amount after being locked onto the camera but it does not shake or rock even when a lens is attached so it should never affect your photos, just your peace of mind. It is also just feels too light when you hold it or have the wide angle lens attached. Canon would have been wise to use a heavier material again just for peace of mind. For what it is, this adapter is twice the price it should be.
The only reason I own it is that it was part of a set package that I got off Ebay.
As described, but... July 18, 2007

I bought this for my Canon S3 IS so that I can use a protective UV-1 filter and the lens hood. The only problem is that with a filter in place at full wide angle the lens hood can be seen in the corners of the shot. The adapter works fine and fits perfectly and even looks nice. I can use various 58mm filters including my Tiffen circular polarizer which was my biggest reason for purchasing this adapter but if I shoot at full wide angle I cannot use the lens hood in combination with any filters or it ends up in the corners of the shot. A bit of a bugger for me considering I shoot a lot of landscapes.
 A must-have for the Canon S2 or S3 July 17, 2007

After using my Canon S2-IS for more than a year, I bought this adapter and hood set for a trip to Scotland. I leave the adapter on all of the time with a UV haze filter on it. I also bought the Canon 58mm snap-on lens cap for it. There are three benefits to this combination: First, my photos turn out better with the UV haze filter. Second, the adapter and filter provide added protection for the camera lens. Third, the snap-on lens cap doesn't fall off like the annoying friction-fit cap that comes with the camera (honestly, I'd pay the full price for this set just for this reason). The only drawback I've found so far is the added size, but I bought the Tamrac 5682 digital zoom camera bag, and it fits great. This isn't really a camera that you can easily carry around in a pocket anyway.

After going to store after store and even ebay and not been able to find the Canon adapter for under $36, I took into consideration at the Lensmate adapter for the S2/S3 IS. I just could not see myself paying so much money for a piece of cheap plastic. I became aware of the Lensmate adapter here on Amazon from reading people's opinions and I'm glad I did some research!
The Lensmate adapter is made from metal and it fits perfectly. I bought the 52mm adapter because it's cheaper to buy lenses and filters. I tried the Canon adapter, but it just didn't feel sturdy or like it could take a hit.
