 Good resolution, handling so-so February 16, 2008

This tele-converter produced very good resolution on my G9. If you want a field-of-view equivalent to a 420mm lens on 35mm film cameras, but not all the time, this is a good choice, assuming you already have a G7 or G9. If you are a frequent user of such long focal lengths, you will likely prefer a camera that has it built in, or better still, a digital SLR. There are two main reasons I say this:
(1) this add-on lens completely obscures the view through the optical viewfinder, so you have to rely on the LCD screen for framing your shots. You will need good light to be using a shutter speed that is fast enough to hold the camera at arm's length, like you need to do to see the screen, and the visibility of the screen in bright sunlight can be less than ideal. It can be done. A tripod or monopod would work better, provided your subject doesn't move too quickly or erratically. My percentage of keepers shooting birds in flight, for example, was pretty low.
(2) While the G7/G9 lens zooms from 35mm to 210mm (equivalent in 35mm terms), and this 2x converter gets you out to 420mm at the long end, you can't use it down to the 70mm (=2x35mm)you might expect, as you will run into severe vignetting. I *think* you can use it for all or most of the range above 210mm.
Having said all this, the G9 plus this converter makes for a very small and light long-lens package, for those who already have a G7/G9 or who only require the added reach from time to time.
 Excellent extension of g7 capabilities January 4, 2008

I have used the teleconverter for a G7 camera for some time and am extremely pleased with the results. It balances very nicely on the camera and allows one hand shooting without a tripod. To me the additional coverage is stunning. For example, I was able to get a close up of a pitcher on the mound at a major league game from the upper deck of the stadium. The picture was very clean. Please note that there is a menu setting which should be used with the teleconverter or wide angle lens. If the menu is set correctly, you will not get the black circle effect that one of the reviewers mentioned. It is explained in the G7 manual.
this lens helped out in an air show! May 30, 2007

I recently went to an air show and used the TC-DC-58C lens. I got great, crisp shots! The clarity loses nothing while the zooming abilities gain everything! I would recommend this lens to any amateur who wishes to be a semi-,halfway-decent-, quasi-professional!
Be aware that the lens is bulky, but this should be obvious to the consumer before buying. Because of its size, it limits the ability to use the viewfinder.
Nice Teleconverter Lens for my Canon PowerShot G9 November 20, 2007

I bought this teleconverter thru Amazon just last week. I was deciding between it and one of the Raynox telephoto lens for the G9. When I first got the teleconverter and took some pics, I wasn't too sure about my purchase. Since using the teleconverter outdoors yesterday and today, I love it! I was able to take some great shots of the moon late yesterday afternoon. Today, I took pics of some leaves on a tree that showed some nice depth of field. I shot a picture of a house at the end of the block. I was standing in my neighbor's yard and shot a picture of the house more than a block away! I was impressed with the picture. The teleconverter will definitely add bulk to your camera, especially if you have an external flash attached. The teleconverter is worth the price!
Doubles the G7's already generous 6x optical zoom May 12, 2007

There's nothing better than being able to enhance the already fantastic capabilities of the G7 with this or the WC-DC58B lenses. The quality of this lens is excellent, and the clarity of the photos taken with is is just spectacular - none of those grainy photos you get with a digital zoom, so you can edit and crop the resulting photos to your heart's content.
