G2 and EF lens

13th August 2002

Can the G2 be used with Canon's EF lens or
can it only work with the special teleconverter types at 2x
or 3x zoom? Anyone with ideas?

The G2 cannot be used with any of the Canon EF lenses. The EF lenses are made for Canon's film SLRs and DSLRs, not consumer/prosumer digicams.

I believe there are some teleconverters than can be used with the G2.

the teleCs are also diff types...
SLR teleCs are fixed between the lens and body, and dun work in any other way.
while prosoomer uses basically a telescope attached to the end of the normal lens, as is the wideC...

Thanks for the reply. I was just toying with the idea
since I might be able to find an extra lens somewhere.

Anyone using the teleconverters for the G2?
Can share your experiences?
