try searching the thread someone did post a pic with the adapter on.

You can buy a 58mm or 52mm adapter. If you're planning to buy tele convertor or wideangle converter advisable to buy 58mm. You can buy the hoya uv filter for protection and a lenscap as well. Filter size will be based on the adapter size you bought. :)

Adapter, get the original (around $48). Filter wise, can try Hoyas or splurge more for a B+W. Filter diameter is 58mm.
 

another question is .. I do not own a dry cabi ... and i bring my s5 is out everyday .. will fungus develop ? Also .. just wondering if most of u users here actually attached the adaptor and filter to ur S5 ? I'm a total newbie to this kind of prosumer camera ... thanks for all the great advice and help rendered ... Is it possible to get a adaptor , filter and a stable enough tripod ( tried out the canon one but feel tat its not very stable ) for a budget of $100 ? Thanks to everyone who has been helpful . I truely appreciate it =)
 

ya i want to know too.....please recomend a dry cabi...............same budget of $100 DOWN.
 

Any camera if used regularly, a dry cabinet is not necessary unless u plan to store your camera for long. Also take note that exposure of lens to the sun can eliminate the growth of fungus in your lens.

If u just plan to store your S5 IS with some accessories, a 30L one will suffice. Else, get a bigger one. Gd brands of dry cabinets are Am-Pro and DigiCabi, just to name some.

a 30L is around $90+ and can get them at Carrefour for the DigiCabi brand. Some cam stores do carry so u've to check with them.
 

I believe in buying one size bigger than what you think you will need. After putting your camera, you will probably think of putting your videocam, then your precious DVDs, maybe coin collection, another camera etc etc.
 

ok thanks .. looks like i can save on dry cabi for now . anyway i have this two small spots on my s5is lens which i can't seem to get rid of .. its too small spots near the circumfernce .. it looks a little reflective .. should i send to canon for help ?

How did u try to get it off? Those reflective spots seems common such as water spots or common stains. No need for any servicing unless your lens has internal fungus.
 

eh i used my lens cloth to wipe it many times ( say about 7 times ? ) but it just doesnt come off :( i wonder if the stain is stuck inside ? but i just bought my cam about a week ...

If it's really those water stains, try using some lens solution (buy those more expensive ones as cheaper ones can destroy the coating) and lightly spray onto a piece of lens tissue. Then gently apply it onto the affected area. Don't clean the entire lens element as those areas not affected, leave it alone.
 

hmmm .. ok .. actually i am not very confidnet of doing it myself .. can i go canon and ask them to teach mi ??
