Canon S3 Accessories

[cerebrus]

Did you buy your lensmate adapter online and had it delivered to you? I read from the forum there's a fellow CSer McGill who has a website sellling Raynox, which is a cheaper way of buying?

Would we be able to get it from AP, CP or MS, or even at SLS?

Lensmate is only online. McGill runs a shop. He only has Raynox 52mm, its matt black. Does not match the body of the S2/S3. I personally like the finish of the Lensmate, since it matches the body of the camera. The build quality of the Raynox is the same as the Lensmate though.

Its a black finish. My S2 IS is silver. Lensmate is a perfect match in terms of colour & finish, the adapter looks like it is part of the camera. The Lensmate and Raynox have the same build quality. Lensmate also has both 58 & 52 mm versions, Raynox has only 52mm.

Its matt black. The S3IS is a different finish.

So you spend a total of S$ 45 for getting your adapter? Does it includes shipping?

That was Raynox. All I had to do was meet James (the guy running the MO at that time). Cannot recall price for the Lensmate, was around $50 including shipping.

Thanks. Agree with you that lensmate adapter does look part of S3.

By the way gusy, went for a S3 lens adapter hunt with a friend and found that John 3:16 has it arriving this Mon and they are selling at close to $50, cheaper than the recommended price.

At this price, you might as well go for the Lensmate or Raynox. The canon adapter is plastic.

Nice bead-blasted and anodised aluminium. Its finish matches the camera.
