Pros: Great product for this price - 1/4 of price for original product here in the Czech republic. It is metalic, well build and semi-gloss, quite easy to put it on my Canon S5, it could be good for protecting body of zoom lens.
Cons: Forget to use it as a lens hood too - end of adapter overlaps lens just for several millimetres - it is enough for zooming of lens if you are using filter, but it is not enough to procet lens from sunlight.
Other Thoughts: I think it could be a small problem with some thicker glass macro lens on tele end of zooming with space between Canon lens and socket macro lens.
Bottomline: nothing
Great adapter for my S3

Pros: Very nice product for the price! It is machined or cast aluminum and painted or powder coated semi-gloss black. It fits my Canon S3 perfectly with a tight fit and looks great with the 58 mm "Canon" lens cap (SKU 20815) I also purchased from deal extreme.
Cons: Hardly a "Con" but the black color is not an exact match to my camera.
Other Thoughts: I've heard complaints about the fit of other brand name adapters including Canon's own so I wanted to see how well this adapter fit my camera before buying any additional lenses. Now that I've seen how well it fits, I'll definitely purchase a couple add-on lenses and filters.
Bottomline: Great product. If you intend to add wide-angle, telephoto or macro lenses or filters like Polarizer, UV, Neutral Density, Close Up, Split Field etc. to your Canon S3/S5, you can't beat this price.

Pros: - Size is just right for my Canon Powershot S3 IS
- Cheaper than Canon's adapter tube (52-58mm)
- Locks firmly
- I don't need to be worried accidentally turning on my camera with this adapter tube on, protects your lens well!
Cons: None that I can see of...
but now I need to get a new bag for my camera since my old one fits perfectly without the tube.
Other Thoughts: - This should fit all S series (S2, S3, S5 IS) powershot.
- I bought sku.5485 as well to go along with this tube.
- Once you get this, time to get filters for your camera, I know that I'm going to start looking some for mine :D
Bottomline: Get it.
I'm lucky that Canon's adapter tube isn't available nearby my place, this item is far cheaper and it does the same purpose.
Grat adapter tube for the Canon S2, S3 and S5.

Pros: This adapter tube fits perfectly on my Canon S2IS camera.
It feels very rugged and the 58mm thread is also good.
It looks very professional and is metal made.
That is better than the plastic of the original Canon adapter.
Cons: No cons, no wobble, no teflon tape, perfect fit. The cardboard box it came in was a little damaged but the adapter was fine.
Other Thoughts: Perhaps an idea to get more and switch adapters instead of lenses and filters.
Bottomline: At $5,11 a great adapter, very affordable and useful. You need things like this if you take your hobby seriously.
