Accessory Filter Kit for Canon Powershot S5 S3 S2 IS

This kit includes indispensable accessories to expand your photographic possibilities, improve picture quality and protect the camera lens. You get very good quality at a reasonable price:

Lens adapter tube

The lens adapter is made of high quality durable metal which provides the possibility for easy connection of filters, sunshade and other standard accessories to the camera and can be used as a replacement for original adapter LA-DC58H.

It fits into the bayonet mount surrounding the camera lens, allowing free movement of the lens within the adapter tube while zooming. The included tube adapters are used for normal, wide angle or tele photos.

The end of the adapter provides a standard 58mm thread to which accessories like filters or converter lenses can be directly attached.

Polarizer / CPL Filter

The polarizer is mainly used outdoors during sunny conditions. It helps to enhance colours and deepens the blue of the sky or water. Various effects can be obtained by rotating the filter.

Polarizers are also used to reduce glare on reflective surfaces like glass or water. Circular polarizers work well with exposure automatic and autofocus of digital cameras.

Although many effects can be digitally simulated, it is not possible to polarize light in post-processing of photographs. Therefore the use of a polarizer is highly recommended for all cameras.

UV Protective Filter

The UV filter reduces unwanted haze caused by UV light. At the same time it protects the lens from scratches, finger prints, dust and other harmful influences.

• MC multi-coated optical glass
• metal frame 
• 58mm thread on both sides 

Wide Angle Petal shaped Lens Hood

The screw in lens hood provides protection in bright and sunny conditions, helps to reduce lens flare and improves clarity. The open sides of the petal shaped hood allow the use of wide-angle zoom to a higher degree than possible with normal sunshades. The hood with  lockable collar can be used directly with the lens adapter or with any of the filters.

Filter Cap

the snap-on filter cap fits either on the lens adapter or any of the filters
