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.
