I own a G2 and have a Canon teleconverter and wide angle lense. I've been wanting to get some filters, but I noticed that the Canon lenses do not have threads to accept filters.

Is there any way that I can use either the teleconverter or wide angle lense with filters? Has anyone found a solution?
Any feedback would be very helpful. Thank you.

You can try stacking filters between the adapter tube and the tele/wide converter. However, this may cause vignetting, eg. shadows around the corners, especially if the filter is thick, eg. a polarizer. It does for the G3 w/ the Canon .7x wide converter (and also reduces the useable zoom range for the 1.75x tele as one would expect).

If you don't get any definitive feedback from G2 users, try posting here also:
