HandyMay 22, 2007
By L. Saul
I have a Canon A710IS. I bought this adaptor to use with the 1.75x teleconverter and the 250D closeup lens. After I received it I was happy to realize that I have some 58 mm filters lying around and these can be used on this adapter (without vignetting). So this adapter can really open up some new possibilities. (Note: the closeup lens also has a thread to mount filters, but the teleconverter does not.)

A nice feature is that it is very easy to pop the adapter on/off the camera ("quick release"). Unfortunately, no case is provided with this adapter. My suggestion/idea is to buy one adapter per converter lens and keep it threaded permanently to that lens. This would be the most convenient way to use it in the field. The bag that comes with the teleconverter is big enough for this, but for the closeup lens, only a small filter box is provided so you'll need to buy a larger container if the adapter is kept threaded onto it.

The main disadvantage of this adapter is that it wil cause shadowing in flash close-ups (see my review of the 250D).

Works Just as it ShouldNov 22, 2007
By John Guilbault
What can you say about this adaptor? It's a circular hunk of plastic that allows you to add filters to your point-and-shoot camera. Since most shots in daylight benefit from a polarizer, this gives you the option of using one. It seems sturdy enough, installs easily and accepts any 58mm filter. As mentioned in other reviews, it will interfere somewhat with your flash, but you usually won't need a filter when you're using flash. All-in-all, a useful accessory for your A710IS camera.

NOT for my Canon A720ISMay 17, 2008
By 2manycameras
This adapter gets in the way period... borders on 4 corners. If I zoom in to lose the borders, then it's not as wide as it should be. I used it with the recommended WC-DC58N wide converter. I'll keep the wide angle converter and fit it to another camera.

Uses for Adaptor RingApr 05, 2008
By C. Seaton "death by research"
I initially purchased this adapter to use with my Canon A720IS in order to add a circular polarizer.

With most SLR setups, your polarizer would be directly added next to the lens surface, and you would be viewing its effects through the lens. But using this adapter, the polarizer ends up being a couple of inches from the lens. Any speck of dust on the polarizer will be visible on the pictures. Also, the effect of the polarizer will not be visible through the optical viewfinder since you are not looking thought the lens. The adapter blocks your ability to use the optical viewfinder at all. The polarizing effect is noticeable on the digital viewscreen as you rotate the polarizer. But outdoors on a sunny day, you can barely see the screen so it doesn't work out so well. I have given up using the polarizer.

I did however purchase a soft rubber collapsible lens shade to attach to this adapter. It will be used to take photos through the plexiglass windows of small aircraft and helicopters. It will allow me to press the shade up against the window, preventing reflections. And it will not mar the window.

Does what it says, but consider if you need it.Jun 06, 2009
By W. Gray "dude-on-stuff"
This nifty little gadget will let you use all those great filters you bought when you had your SLR phase. The problem is the A710/720 just isn't a good enough camera to justify the extra bulk and annoyance of using this thing. Also, there's no realistic way to use a circular polarizer, as the LCD on the camera isn't accurate enough.

Still, if you want to use funky diffraction, coloured or even ND filters, this is incredibly easy to use.
