Thank you! But one more question: if you use the 52mm adapter, don't you
run into trouble when trying to use the tele/wide angle converters
offered by Canon?

Cheers,

Just about anyplace that sells filters will sell step-up or step-down rings
to convert from one size to another. And there are also quality third party
lenses available in 52mm thread size. If you have your heart set on Canon
add-on lenses, get the 58mm size. Many people prefer the 52mm size since it
blocks less of the view in the viewfinder, although with ANY add-on lens,
that's a moot point. But with filters, it is still something of an issue.

Exactly. When I bought the adapter, I also picked up a 52-58 step-up ring.
I already had a 52mm polarizer and UV filter, but I also anticipated getting
the Canon tele adapter.
