Lensmate 49mm vs Canon LA-DC58 58mm.
Advantages or disadvanages?
Will be buying UV, polarizer and those thin marco lens!

Thanks...jimo

Go with the Lensmate, I just did.

All the answers to your questions are on Lensmate's website:
http://www.lensmateonline.com

In short I think the reasons are as follows:

Smaller 49mm Thread
Does not block flash (LA-DC58 does)
Does not block AF Light (LA-DC58 does)
Can be left on all the time with a UV Filter to protect lens (LA-DC58 is too big to do this in my opinion)
Matches Canon G2 color, and is more aesthetically pleasing

Other reasons are very well documented in this forum. Seriously, go with the Lensmate, you will not regret it.

Matt.

Well said, but actually Lensmate do block the internal flash a little bit (at the bottom right corner if in full wide angle). Just back off the subject little bit, zoom in a little, and it should be fine.

Tony is right, but it's only an issue if you use the internal flash, and are at full wide angle. Daytime shots are fine.
