Right what I neededJune 30, 2007 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I use it with a S3-IS and is perfect for my kid's birthdays and other events when the subject is a table-wide away. If you use the camera's built in flash, be careful to point your shots a little lower or buy an auxiliary flash like the HF-DC1 because it may make a small oval shadow on the bottom of the shot, that will need to be removed by cropping.
Extremely satisfiedNovember 10, 2002 I purchased a "used lens" which had never been used. I got a great service.

G1's built-in flash is blockedOctober 15, 2001 21 out of 21 found this review helpful
Quite a good wide converter lens. It works well with the 58mm lens adapter. Comes with front and back caps and also with a fantastic pouch for keeping it in.
The only problem with this wide converter is that the built-in flash on my Powershot G1 doesn't reach the right hand side of the photograph when the lens is on. This is also the problem with the light-sensor lamp and the red-eye reduction lamp. Shouldn't be a problem with daylight and outdoor shooting though.
