|  Canon Power Shot S5 IS question
I'm new to photography and cameras, I own a Power Shot S5 IS and I'm trying to find a macro lens for it. My question, Is my camera a SLR? I'm looking on ebay for a lens and most are for SLR's. How do you know what lens will work with your camera? Thank you in advance for your help. |

First you need a lens tube adapter: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc..._Hood_Set.html Then fror close up shots, you can use this lens: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...ide_Angle.html Additionally, you can use any filter/closeup lens that has a 58mm thread size: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/catego...s_Filters.html B
