 OK for the price - clunky attachment February 28, 2006
19 out of 20 found this review helpful
If you want to use a filter with this camera, you have to use a lens adapter, and this one works adequately. The mechanics of taking off the lens ring so you can attach the adapter are not intuitive, but it gets easier on subsequent attachments. Unfortunately, it also gets easier to cross-thread the adapter in place unless you are very careful, and then you have the challenge of applying enough force to get it off but not so much that you break it.
Someone somewhere may find a use for the lens hood which is a mandatory part of this set, but I haven't identified one yet.
 My take on this vs Lens Mate adaptor February 23, 2006
36 out of 36 found this review helpful
After reading the reviews here, I went to the lensmate website and two things became clear...
1) It makes a lot of sense for the adaptor that is going to be on the camera all the time to match the camera plus aluminum seems better than plastic. So I ordered a UV filter and the adaptor from Lensmate. These are very impressive and I can't recommend them enough. Also very fast shipment. I added a lens cap and it stays on the filter nicely.
2) The black Canon adaptor matches all of the lenses even if it doesn't match the camera. It would actually look better for the adaptor to match the lens in this case. From the sample photos on the Lensmate site, the Canon telephoto lens looks better than the others. Since they don't sell the Canon lens, I came back to Amazon and ordered the Canon adaptor and telephoto. Just got these today so haven't taken any pictures but assume they will match the quality from the Lensmate site. About the adaptor, it is plastic but looks well made. I had absolutely no problem mounting the lens to the adaptor or the adaptor to the camera, perfect fits.
In summary, this seems to be the best looking combination, time will tell how the 2 adaptors hold up. As for the lens hood, will probably throw it in a closet with the S2s original lens cap.

This kit does the job. Unfortunately, the Canon soft case recommended for the S2 IS will not work with this adapter on the camera. Canon should have included a lens cap for the adapter rather than a lens hood, which I will probably never use. Without such a cap, the UV filter on my camera is very exposed to damage.

Unit should be silver colored to match camera body. Could not use the tele adaptor as it would bind as the lense was extended
Little Sticky, But It Does the Job January 30, 2006

The lens hood tends to screw on a little more tightly to the lens adapter than you might first expect, so try to take it easy the first time if you expect to switch the hood for another lens or filter. Otherwise the mount fits the IS very well, and is easy enough to take off for flash or macro shots, and then put back on. With this setup you can comfortably protect the lens (necessary since the lens cap that comes with the S2 IS tends to slip off), while reducing glare on a sunny day. Only major complaint, as others have mentioned, is the choice of black plastic rather than silver to reflect the body color.
