I’ve owned a PowerShot G5 for better than three years now, and while I’ve never used any of the lens accessories, I couldn’t be happier with it. I also have an EOS A2 and it met all of my needs for a film camera. I thought I would be giving up a lot when I got the G5 to go digital, but so far, I haven’t been disappointed. In fact, I’ve been surprised with how good the G5 is; since I bought my G5 I haven’t even once picked up my A2, let alone actually used it. The G5 does everything I need it to do. The one and only drawback of it compared to my A2 is that it took me a little while to get used to the longer latency between shots; with my A2 I got used to having lighting fast latency (the A2’s built in powerwinder goes at 6 fps) so it was a bit of an adjustment, but I’m not a sports photographer, so I’ve learned to live with it.
My next camera will also be a Canon digital, but I’m going to make sure to get one that’s got a good latency between shots that replicates the powerwind on my A2.

I made the mistake of selecting the bundle without reading the requirements closely. The lens is for a variety of Canon cameras but the adapter only works with the A6XX series. My adapter arrived and it doesn’t work with my camera. Kinda misleading and now I have to spend more to buy the correct adapter separately. Bummer.
Also, Captain Jack is correct about the vignetting. This lens is sort of like a magnifying class that sits in front of the built-in zoom lens. If you zoom wide angle, you see the horrible vignetting he mentioned. If you stay zoomed in, it works ok. Disappointing.

let me explain what this really does because i had to buy it to understand. MAybe that is me
ok what this does is basically “pull” you back into the camera more. so that when you are taking a picture you can actually see the outlining of the lens, making it a circle picture. not what i was expecting but its interesting i am new to “real” photography so i am not sure if this is usefull or a really good thing but i just wanted to make it clear what it really does so you do not have to spend the money to buy it

I bought this lens for my Canon PowerShot G5, and because it requires the use of a long adapter, not only does it cause terrible vignetting (that circle the other poster thought was cool, but which is actually a design flaw) unless you zoom most of the way, it blocks the built-in flash. I have owned four Canon cameras over the past 15 years, and the G5 and everything related to it has been a huge disappointment. (I would have bought the digital Rebel when it first came out so I could use my EOS lenses, but it didn’t allow flash exposure compensation (insane for a $1000 camera body).)
I do not recommend this lens or any of the G-series digital cameras from Canon. When I’ve got the money I’ll be buying the latest digital Rebel and upgrading some of my old EOS lenses, and selling my entire PowerShot kit. If you are an experienced photographer, you will not like this system at all.

After i bought this product i saw the comments: when you use it without zoom in your camera, you see the object of pic into a circle. Also another disadvantage is that if you want to take a pic with flash, this lens blocks the light and the pic is divided: mid size is ok but the other size is black or dark.
