Question about the Canon WD-58H lens
Is this lens compatible with Canon G series digital Cameras?
I know they make a W-DC58N wide angle lens for the G3, but it IS 58mm thread size on both lens. And also would the teleconverter I have for my G3 (Canon T-DC58N) work with the GL2? Again it has 58mm thread size.

Well, I do not own a Canon G3, but if both cameras have a 58 mm thread my guess is that the converters can be used on both cameras.
But the WD-58H is a pretty big and heavy converter so I would be carefull screwing it on your G3, could that lens hold the weight? Hopefully I could have been of any help |

I have a Raynox MX-3000PRO for my XM2 and I have tried to attach it to my SLR camera, Canon EOS 50, on top of the 28-80mm lens.
It doesnīt work. It wont focus. I suppose that this can be because the semi-fishey onle works on my XM2 at the widest zoom. I donīt know about other lenses that support a wider zoomrange. |

Well I tried my G3 teleconverter on my GL2 and it doesn't work. The GL2 can't focus through it.
So I guess there are different models for a reason :)

I paid about $200 US at todays exchange rate. It works great and the distortion is very low.
I donīt have anything to compare with though. Its a semi fisheye at 0.3x and it doesnīt support zooming at all. Only focuses at maximum zoom. Im thinking of getting a 0.6x Raynox as wll. This one would support full zoom. The Raynox converters are in my opinion a lot of lens for the $$$ |

Jeff- From what I have gathered, still camera lenses won't usually work for video.
