Can anyone tell me if the adapter for the wide angle lens will cause focusing troubles if it is left on the camera with out the wide angle lens attached? I thought maybe it would interfere with the focus assist beam. please help! :?

If it blocks the 'focus assist beam' then it might have some influence.

However, bear in mind that the 'focus assist beam' is no more than a white light supposed to give a vertical edge on the subjects when everything is dark.

I think it's a tad overrated, and it certainly won't help much if you have light around.

Take a look at this thread about more info on G series focusing...
