Yes, this works. The new Lensmate G10 adapter set will accommodate the Canon TC-DC58C 2x Tele-Converter.

The Lensmate G10 adapter comes in three parts, typically used as A+B or A+C.

If you couple the A+C Lensmate G10 adapter parts, the Canon 2x Tele-Converter attaches to it perfectly.

There is vignetting unless the G10 lens is zoomed almost fully out, but not at the farthest two telephoto steps -- so you can get a vignette-free 280mm telephoto from this combination. This is almost exactly the same functionality as with the G9, where you get vignetting at all but the farthest three steps of the zoom. (Of course, it won't zoom as far at the G9 with the 2x converter, but performs similarly to the G9 in terms of zoom steps that vignette or don't vignette.)

With my recently bought G10, this was the info I was looking for, for the past few weeks.

Sadly the picture links are - after 15 years - all broken and there is too little infomration about the 'Lensmate G10 adapter' you mentioned so that I can't really find it on the internet.

Do you or someone else still have the info I am looking for?

Thanks in advance

John
