Wide Angle adapter from Canon
By V. Shrader
I purchased the WC-DC58N along with the adapter converter LA-DC58G. At first I was very disappointed because each of the corners were rounded off, making for a vignetted effect. Then I read the manual that came with my Canon A710 where it instructed to turn on a Converter setting on the camera using the Menu AND remove the small ring on the LA-DC58G. Now the photos look great and no black around the edges. The lens is larger than I expected but it should do a great job at taking inside shots of rooms (with no flash) which is why I purchased it.

Great lens for the money
By Michael A. Bair
I thought twice before buying this lens. It wasn't designed specifically for my Canon A620, it required the purchase of an adapter ring, and it blocks the flash.Having said that, the lens feels good on the camera (even with Canon's plastic adapter) and the pictures are what I was hoping for. I use it all the time. It's great for assembling panoramics, and doesn't suffer from any unexpected distortions (beyond the horizontal bending you get from any wide angle lens).Highly recommended.

By handyman30
As mentioned in previous reviews, this lens gets in the way of the viewfinder on most of the products it fits, so it is necessary to use the lcd for proper framing, and you really need to use an external flash for indoor shots. Despite this,it makes wide angle shots possible on a fixed lens camera, which is what it was designed for. Without an external flash, you will experience black spots. Edge distortion is minimal, and even with a SLR/wide angle lens combination, your going to experience a similar result. How many times have you tried to photograph a room and not been able to get much of the room in the picture? This lens definitely helps in that situation. Outdoors is where this conversion lens really shines, creating a landscape effect. Hope this info helps anyone on the fence about investing in this product.
