Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I must agree with "Jim Krupnik" that your S2 IS needs a converter lens for 3 main reasons: - Attaching external filters and tele/close-up/wide-angle lenses to your S2 - Protecting your camera lens - Place that your hand can hold for more stable handheld shoot However, there are reasons that make this set only a 4-star: - They are black while the camera is silver (as "mechmonk" pointed out) - They were made in plastics - They only come in 58mm type, which means if you have old 52mm lenses, you will need to find an extra step-down ring Moreover, there is a better alternative which is an adapter by Lensmate (search in google for this term). They offer adapters which do the same job without disadvantages stated above: - They were made in high quality aluminum which is always better than plastic - They are silver which matches your camera color - There come in 2 types, 58mm and 52mm, so you don't need an extra step-down ring if you want to use 52mm lenses I had hesitated a lot before choosing which one I want because Lensmate seems to make higher quality converter while this set is made by Canon, a big guy in the market. I did a lot of research on the internet and found out that Lensmate is actually a very well-known and reliable converter maker for producing high quality items. Photography-on-the-net (search in google for this term) is the largest community for Canon users and they have to admit that Lensmate converters are better than Canon's ones. Since I still had a feeling to have "everything Canon" is better, I bought 1 of each. And I must say I like the Lensmate's one better. The bottom line is this set is very good; it serves you perfectly what it supposed to do. But there is a better one which is made by Lensmate.
