Canon LAH-DC20 Lens Adapter/Hood Set

LAH-DC20 Lens Adapter/Hood Set

Strengths: Fits camera perfectly, color matches the S3, doesn't take up much space when disconnected from camera

Weakness: Plastic construction, color does not match the S2

This simple item serves the purpose for which it was designed. This item allows you to connect the included lens hood and optional lenses and filters to your Powershot S2 IS or S3 IS camera. I have not had an opportunity to do much outdoor shooting since receiving the adapter, so I cannot comment on the quality of the lens hood. The adapter is made out of plastic and snaps onto the camera's...

Silver would be nicer

Strengths: Inexpensive but does the job.

Weakness: Black color does not match silver camera body.

The kit is pretty nice and inexpensive. It weighs less than an ounce in total, and allows you to use the full range of available 58 mm filters on your S2. At the very least, any camera owner would benefit from a basic UV filter to improve contrast in hazy conditions, and to protect the camera lens at all times. When you are shooting in super macro mode, the adapter and filter assembly come off of...

Canon LAH-DC20

Strengths: Very Strong, Durable, Doesnt scratch easily

Weakness: Doesnt Match the S2-IS, The hood, does not work well when shooting macro, lens cap does not fit.

The Lens Adapter, and Hood work well when you are using an accesory lens, but when using the standard lens, the lens hood makes an black arc on the bottom of your photo when using the flash, because the flash is not high enough. Also, the adapter and hood are black, My S2 is silver. The factory lens cap that came with the S2 does not fit over the adapter or hood. But it serves its purpose pretty...

Canon LAH-DC20 Lens Adapter/Hood Set

Strengths: Ease of use I guess.

Weakness: None to speak of... it's just an adapter! :)

I brought this adapter along with the Powershot S2 so that I could use the filter mount. As well as doing this, the hood helps protects the lens when you don't have the piece of detritus Canon calls a lens cap. All in all, it does what it says.

LAH-DC20 Lens Adapter/Hood Set

Strengths: easy to attach, fits well

Weakness: large size, different color than camera

I bought this product with a UV filter at the advice of someone to protect the lens of my camera. I don't think it was necessary as I really did not have problems with my lens cap falling off. However, I do take a lot of pictures outdoors and figured I might as well protect my lens and improve the quality of my pictures at the same time. It was a good investment. The only thing is that I wish it...

LAH-DC20 Lens Adapter/Hood Set for PowerShot S2 IS...

Strengths: Lightweight

Weakness: color

I purchased the LAH-DC20 Lens Adapter/Hood Set for PowerShot S2 IS Digital Camera. The camera is silver but adapter is black. Looks ugly but it works as it supposed to be. Lensmate makes silver and black adapter for S2 and S3. Might be another option.

LAH-DC20

Strengths: It is needed if you purchase the Canon S5 and want to use a teleconverter lens

Weakness: none

I brought this item thinking it was a lens when it is actually an adapter for a lens. It is two pieces the hood and the adapter, once you buy this item you have to buy the teleconverter lens which attaches to the front of the LAH-DC20. Both item are acc. for the Canon S5 a great camera. It has so many features I am still playing with it.

LAH-DC20

Strengths: Good Tool!

Weakness: It would be much better if it were aluminum and rubber.

The plastic threads at the Hood end are very fragile, so I recommend installing a 1A filter between the adapter and hood. One precaution: when unscrewing the hood from the extension, use very little pressure, otherwise it distorts the hood and makes turning it very difficult. Makes a great lens hood for eliminating flare.

Canon S2 1S, S3 1S Len Adapter/Hood

Strengths: Fits perfectly and is black to match the color of the S3 1S.

Weakness: None,other than with the hood you may loose some light with close-up flash photos.Could result is some darkening in the photo.

You need this adapter in order to use the Canon wide angle and telephoto accessories lens. Naturally both lens are sold separately. Not a lot of good or bad to say. If you want to attach lens or filters you don't have any choice other than another brand.
