Here's a test of a couple of Addon Conversions lenses that I have for my Canon G5. This is not intended to be an exhaustive or scientific test but to provide a little information on these lenses.

The G5 and lenses were mounted on a Velbon tripod. Lenses were attached to the G5 using either a 52 or 58mm Lensmate adapter. A (((LCD hood))) was used to better view the LCD screen. The G5 remote was used to trigger the flash.

Canon G5 - Wide Angle, No lens (7 mm)

Canon G5 - Telephoto, No lens (35???)

Canon G5 - Canon 1.5x

Canon G5 - Tiffen Megaplus 2x

Canon G5 - Sony 1.7x

Canon G5 - Crystalview 8x

I have one wide angle adapter, Tiffen .75x

Canon G5 - Tiffen .75x

 

 

 

 

 

I have not intended this to be a scientific test between different close-up filters. These images are displayed to show what is possible using the Canon G5 and a few different filters. It is up to you to do your own evaluation. That said here are a few of my comments. The lower left corner is consistently the blurriest of the images. This may be because of the Canon or close-up lenses or it may be because I did not use a level to make sure the camera was parallel to the 20 dollar bill. Looking at the Canon G5 image (top image) you can see a little chromatic aberration along the left edge of the 7 and G.

Canon has replaced the 240D and 450D with the 250D and 500D filters. Raynox has discontinued making the 4x Macroscopic Lens.

Oh, here is the final product.
