Product Description
Bring those far away subjects in close. The TC-DC58B converts the focal length of the body lens by a factor of approximately 1.5 (35 mm film equivalent at maximum telephoto: approximately 648 mm) when attached. The TCDC58B Telephoto Lens Converter screws into the front of the S2 IS's existing lens to provide greater magnification (1.5x), for those times when you are shooting distant subjects that you do not want to disturb, such as children, pets, or wildlife.

 Warning! May not be what you expect. July 3, 2008
I just received the Canon TC-DC58B and put it to the test. I took non-digital zoom shots, at full magnification, with and without the converter and was instantly disappointed. What disappointed me was that the extra magnification I got was a lot less than I expected. There was little difference in the two shots. In fact, I could get the same magnification by minimally employing the digital zoom feature. I am going to Alaska for the first time soon and was hoping the lens would help me get up close and personal with nature. I doubt it will get me much closer at all. I've read through the reveiws and would agree with the quality of the lens, etc. I don't see where those who rated this a 4 or 5 even mentioned the fact that you will not get much closer with this lens. I don't like spending over a $100 for something and being left with the feeling that I did not get much bang for my buck. Beware and think twice about buying this. Don't expect a lot.
 Much better that cheaper telephoto lenses June 23, 2008
I purchased this lens for my S2IS. The biggest difference is the drastic reduction in purple fringing that I have seen with a non-canon teleconverter lens (purchased by a friend) for his S2IS. Good quality and good material.

Very good lens. I use this lens on my Canon S5 it get's the job done plus there is a setting in the camera that recongnizes the lens. Just another canon product doing it's thing. I highly recommend it you can definitely see a difference and since the S5 is known for having some noise in the pictures when using the digital zoom I just turn that off and shoot straight through the converter for flawless pictures.
1.5 is nice 2.0 would be better June 9, 2008

As a 1.5x converter, this lens deserves 5 stars. The optics appear to be flawless and the quality is good. As far as I know it is the only game in town for extending the range of this family of camera. That is a pity, because these cameras deserve more.
This converter really needs to be a 2.0x converter to fill the need most people have for it. If you have one of Canon's "mega-zoom" lens cameras such as the S2, S3, S5 IS that reach out to 432mm (35mm equivalent) then the 1.5 does get you somewhere. If you do not have a long lens on your camera, 1.5 won't be enough multiplier to get you where you want to go. If you have a large number of pixels, you can use this lens and crop the result with good effect.
Not much bang... May 15, 2008

Not much bang for your buck here. You still have to get reasonably close for this little thing to work.
