No. The LA-DC58K only allows you to use the TC-DC58K teleconverter with your camera.

The Tamron 28-200mm lens is intended for use with SLR (single-lens reflex) cameras, not with point&shoot cameras. As far as I know, there aren't any adapters which will allow you to use an SLR lens with the G10.

A teleconverter is an add-on accessory that works with an existing lens. The 28-200 is a lens, which is intended to be used as-is. Using it on the G10 would basically require removing the built-in lens on the G10. As that lens can't be removed...

Testimonial: "Thank you very much for saving me the money I would have spent buying the adapter thing. I am going on Safari in Africa and want some good pictures, so either I will be using my old film Canon EOS5 or reverting to my Canon G10."

SOURCE: AF 70-300 causes error 99 in my Canon 300D

This is usually a torn flexible circuit or binding aperture in the lens. It'll have to go to a repair shop for replacement. About a $80 job.

SOURCE: i have a tamron 70-300mm

This is the kind of error which you always risk these days in buying lenses which are not from your camera manufacturer. Error 01 simply means that the camera cannot communicate with the lens. Canon's protocols are not open standards and third party manufacturers have to reverse engineer to produce something which works. As they're working in the dark, they cannot always arrive at a solution which makes all models suit all Canon bodies.

You have two possible solutions:-

Visually inspect the contacts on the lens and the camera body and if they're anything other than clean and bright then use a clean pencil eraser on them. Be very, very, careful not to let any of the rubber crumbs into the lens or the camera body.

If that fails, visit the Tamron website to see whether the lens can be returned to be updated for other bodies. if it can't then sell it and buy a later Tamron model or better still a Canon one. They may cost more, but the results are better and their resale value is much higher.

SOURCE: Error 99 with a Canon

Welcome to Fixya
Err 99 could mean several different things, such as... Memory Card, Lens or Lens contacts....

Here's what you can try:
Remove the memory card an enable "shooting with out memory card" and see if you still get the error. If it works your memory card is bad. Try another lens if you can. Clean the lens contacts with a pencil eraser (be careful not to get eraser dust in the camera body or in the lens). Worst case scenario is, Err 99 could be related to the shutter failing which would mean a trip to Canon.

Thank you for using Fixya!

Cambron 500mm

I think you don't want to use it on the G10, because that would not be possible. You first have to know what the connection side of the Cambron lens is, than look on every site that has adopter rings for Canon EOS or Rebel cameras. Like the link down here.

Lens error in a Canon G10

Try restarting it a couple of times. If that doesn't make the error go away, the camera needs to be serviced. There is a really good site and all they service are Powershots. They are wonderful if you need to get service for one of these Canon Powershot cameras and they are really reasonable for the cost. Your problem is on their site. Try going to: www.camerasandparts.com Look at their service and repair and you should see it there. They are amazing for service on these models. I wish you a lot of luck with it, that's a really great camera.
