Also in Canadian $ how much would an adaptor / lens hood combo cost - + does the end have threads – for

A filter to screw into ?


Thanks Craig

  Don't know why it won't go into "Super Macro Mode" for you. Zoom the lens to maximum Wide; set the mode dial to P (or Av, Tv, M, Movie, or "My Colors"); press the "flower" button once to get regular Macro (flower symbol displayed on screen), press it again for Super Macro ("S flower" symbol in the LCD), and again to cancel Macro.

When in Super Macro mode the lens will only focus on objects within 0-10cm (0 to 3.9 inches) of the end of the lens.

LAH-DC20 (lens adapter and hood set) I've seen advertised for ~$45 CAD. It enables you to attach 58mm diameter filters or accessory lenses.

  Do a search for Lensmate, and go to their website. They have some intersting adaptors for S2 That allows for better protection of the lense and auto focus . They have some great examples of equipment used with their adaptor. Check it out
