Received damaged product. Took the trouble to return the item and received new one in a few days.

If you are moving up to having an excellent camera such as the S5 IS then you should have what is needed to protect your lens. A bit of advice for those unfamiliar with the camera and do not know how to install the adapter. You first must remove lens cap and portion of camera that the cap attaches to. To do this there is a button on the camera next to where it is marked 8.0 Mega Pixels to the left of the lens while looking at it. This will allow you to remove the part you need in order to connect the lens adapter. Another positive is that with a new 58mm lens cap you do not have to worry about the cap popping off because the zoom does not need to make contact with it. Happy Photo Shooting!

The adapter works good, however the hood causes a problem for wide angle photos: it makes coners of the picture black. So you either crop images later or you have to decrease the wide angle a little (which is annoying after some time).
Great Product! May 27, 2008

I like my set and I think they were a good value but I do have a couple of minor issues with it: 1) Being plastic, the hood flexes when you get a good grip on it, which can make it hard to turn when putting it on or taking it off. 2) If you use a UV filter between the converter and the hood, it sets the hood out there just far enough that you will see it at the corners of your full-zoom pictures! Back off just a hair on the zoom and it's fine. All said, this set is of good Canon quality; although, had I been able to find a rubber hood (the kind that you can invert back around the adapter) I would have definately gone for that!

My Canon lens adapter and hood combination package just arrived today and I felt compelled to submit this review as soon as I had the chance to inspect and test these two items. I was very hesitant to order since several reviews described the material used as rather cheap lastic. I must say that, yes, they are made of some type of 'plastic' but no, they are not the cheap, flimsy, substandard product from what I had gathered from several reviews, not just those on Amazon. Being an engineer, I do appreciate the fine attention to detail on these parts, such as the tight thread form and the overall feel of the pair. Sure, if they are screwed together with some force, they are difficult to unscrew. However, remove the pressure from squeezing your grip at the joint and try unscrewing by holding the opposite ends...when possible. Only then is the force removed from the thread engagement, allowing the clearances necessary for disassembly to return and assist in the process.
My point is that I think that these parts are well made for the purpose. Not only do they facilitate the use of other lenses and to blot out the glares, they help to protect your camera by absorbing impact energy, they look good and they have the Canon endorsement. Speaking of the latter, I contacted Canon to verify materials and workmanship warranty, or lack thereof. I found out that it is a lack, thereof.
Still, for what they do and what they cost to do it, they are good products to own. As a comparison, to use on another S5 IS, I did get an aluminum adapter and rubber hood from Lensmate but must admit that I prefer the Canon. For some reason, I have a sneaking suspicion that on some cold but beautiful winter's day, I will come to appreciate the warmth of the Canon adapter over the cold, starkness of the aluminum, third-party adapter.
I would recommend that you order these if you have the need. Give them a try. There is always a return policy just waiting there to save the day.
