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.

the small increase of angle is not worth carrying this heavy and cumbersome lens on a small point and shoot camera.
I returned it.

I have tried several wide angle lenses for the VIXIA camcorder. The one Canon designates for the camera weighs as much as the camera! This one is light, has no vignetting (all zoom ranges are available), and it is compact. It is only a 0.8x demagnifier, but I also got it at a very reasonable price. I think it will do fine when a wider field of view is needed for my HD camcorder. It also aesthetically matches the TC-DC58N tele converter I got. BTW, both of these lenses together weigh LESS than the one WD-58H wide lens Canon recommends for the VIXIA!

I purchased a “used lens” which had never been used. I got a great service.

This widened the field on my pro90is more than I expected. It works very well with this camera.I can find no problems with fit or function. This lens is a great accessory for your pro90
