Is there a good resource showing what adapters are available for the G5? I want to get a wide angle and a telephoto lens, but I don't really know where to start looking for what's available and reviews. Of course Canon's site says their 58mm adapter and lens are the only ones that fit, but it looks like lots of folks have other stuff.

I guess it's pretty obvious I'm new to all this...so just a decent resource on good brands would be helpful also! Thanks.

Yo,
I have the Canon one and it is a pain in the ass because of it's obstructing the viewfinder and blocking the flash . . . but I just rather stick to Canon brand. I'll get an external flash one of these days!

Hi there. The adapter you should buy is the one that will accomodate the lenses you end up buying. I think you should decide on a lens first, and then buy the adapter. I ended up with a 58mm canon adapter because I want to eventually get the canon wide angle lens.
If you need help choosing lenses this is an interesting review:

Hope it helps.
