I purchased 2 of theses adapters for my Canon S5IS so I could leave my 1.5x lens and my wide angle lens always on so its faster to change.They came in black not silver which is good because it matches the camera better.They fit real snug which is also a good thing.All metal construction so in my book they are well worth the money spent.
Affordable and reliable! August 31, 2008

For my birthday, I purchased a Canon S5 IS. I am very much an amateur with a love of photography, and after several very happy years spent taking photos with my trusty little Canon PowerShot A60 (another birthday gift!) I was beginning to grow a little frustrated with the limitations of that camera, though it served me extremely well and was a faithful companion for all the years I used it. I was ready to move up into the next level of camera, and after much research I chose the S5. It was no contest, really - the S5 is an incredible camera. br / br /Since the S5 is in a totally different realm than the A60, I started again from scratch and the first thing I was concerned about was the fact that the lens had no protection. I was positive that due to the combination of my inexpertise and rather accident-prone nature I would end up accidentally jamming the barrel and/or scratching the lens and ruining my beautiful new camera, which I treat as though it's made out of the finest spun glass (because if I didnt, I'd break it in five minutes). br / br /Through reading around and reviews, including the helpful folks who review cameras and camera equipment here at Amazon.com, I discovered what lens adapters were for and that many, many people use a lens adapter in combination with a UV filter to protect their lenses. I was delighted to have found such a great solution so quickly and purchased this adapter and a UV lens to go with it on the same day I purchased the S5. br / br /This adapter fits perfectly on my S5 and is very sturdy. It has the barest bit of a wiggle, which has caused no problems whatsoever, and does not jiggle loose, rattle around or come off or offer any kind of difficulty at all. It's lightweight aluminum, not plastic, and looks as though it came with the camera itself. br / br /The UV filter and new lens cap I purchased fit onto the adapter with no trouble. The adapter extends to just beyond the range of the lens barrel and the adapter and UV filter completely protect my lens and barrel so that I dont have to worry about accidentally switching it on while it's in my camera bag and burning out the motor. I never have to worry about the lens cap popping off (the new cap I bought snaps on very nicely and securely). This little adapter, along with the UV filter, gives me peace of mind that I would have been willing to pay a lot more for, for less than $20 total. br / br /I still have an enormous amount of learning to do but this adapter makes it much easier to use my new camera without having to worry about damaging the most sensitive parts of it. I am probably going to go ahead and buy another one of these, as well as another UV lens, just to have amongst my equipment on the off chance I need it someday. Well worth the price, and it tricks out my camera enough so that it makes me look like I actually know what I'm doing! :D

This adapter works well with my S3. Although on a closer inspection the tube is darker than the dak grey of the camera it looks as a part of it. Seems to be made from light aluminium, quite solid.

I ordered a Digital Concepts Lens adaptor but was shipped an Opteka brand adaptor. Maybe it is the same thing with a different name. The Opteka has quite a lot of play where it mounts to the camera which makes it feel less secure and cheap. A 58mm filter mounts easily to the adaptor so functionally the adaptor works. I am going to look around for another brand adaptor that fits better.
