Hi Vlad,
There’s a new post about your question. Sorry it took so much time.

I wish I could find that forum link, it seems to have vanished. It was talking about the Canon G10, but it is the same with the G11.

Millionmonk,
The original Canon should act the same (if it has two parts). I’ve just published another article about that problem – simply use step-up rings.

could you please discuss how to use step up rings to avoid vignetting on the g11? which sizes to use etc?

a link to that forum you were speaking about would be perfect.

thank you!

Yeah, I already have this adapter, bought it around $10 dollars here in Singapore. Almost all shops are selling it. Really irritating if you only use the 1 part. If the zoom touches the filter lens, it will give you an error and you have to restart the camera.

So is the Canon adapter also the same?

Thanks for you comment!

This is what I was talking about. Quoting the Lensmate website:

“3. Why not make a 77mm lens adapter?

When the potential for small amounts of vignetting was weighed against making a larger diameter part, we decided that 72mm was the sweet spot for several reasons. First, to make a larger part would require a costly custom aluminum extrusion with a large minimum order requirement. Extra cost to the consumer. Because of maximum size limitations of the CNC equipment being used. ”

I’ll publish more information about it in the future.

“…To make it short, I didn’t like the Lensmate solution as it’s expensive and have some limitations.”

NO, NO, NOOO!

I recently ordered two lensmate parts (A + B), so I don´t want to read about any limitations! (head in the sand position)…
