Re: Canon G12 teleconverter

I use the Canon 2.0x (TC-DC 58C) tele converter lens with my G11.  I got it originally for my G9, but it will also work with the G10/G11/G12.  The quality is good, but the size is rather large and heavy. This leads to not wanting to carry it often.  You also need a converter lens adaptor.  I use the Lensmate system of adaptors. However, I don't see them listed on the Lensmate site now.
