Right what I needed
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
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 satisfied

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
very large for a minor benefit

the small increase of angle is not worth carrying this heavy and cumbersome lens on a small point and shoot camera.
I returned it.
G1′s built-in flash is blocked

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.
