G2 Best lens adapter and lens

Can anyone explain why Canon offers a 58 mm adaptor for the G2 when they offer a set of 52mm attachment lenses that seem to be equivalent to the 58 mm line? Why not make a 52 mm adaptor for the existing 52 mm attachments???????

Hi,
Where is the best Lens Adapter for the Canon G2? And the best Lens
(wide angle and tele)?

Thank in advances

P.S. Excusme for my english, but I am italian... ;-)
 
raven,

Lensmate sells adapter rings that will let you mount the 58mm Canon lens. You should order the 49mm - 58mm step-up ring with the Lensmate. . . should you decide to go that route.
Maybe I am a little bit slow .... but I have gone through every
message from this discussion and I have only found out this .....

Most of the users recomend the "Lensmate" as an adapter.....
Another person said that the original lenses from Canon were the
best That leaves me with the question..?

Lensmate is a 49mm adapter and the Canon lens is wider than that so
what type of "wide angle lens" should I choose to go with the
"Lensmate".

thanks ----> Raven
 
Michael,

I'm confused about this part of your reply. I understand that you prefer the Canon add-on lenses; but for everyday protection, are you saying you prefer the Canon setup or the Lensmate setup?
For every day UV protection (I use a lens cap for protection and a
58mm HMC UV when UV protection seems appropriate) the LensMate and
a good 49mm B+W or Hoya HMC filter is probably the best bet. For
wide angle and tele the Canon product is best. >
