Looking at the G10 for some indoor macro photography

Do the Canon ones fit on the G10? Is a special attachment needed?

Does the Sigma EM140DG work with a G10?

Well...if you want to stay small, light weight and bright and are willing to give up ETTL
(which I didn't find missing in close up macro work anyway compared to the gain in portability) take a look at this. It uses recharable internal Lithium Ion batteries....very simple functions ON-OFF. Nice and thin.

Fits on any of the adapter tubes (Lensmate, Canon various other 3rd party adapters. I use a step ring so it screws onto my wide angle/macro combo lens which screws onto my Lensmate adapter.
