Wanted to ask the advice of the good people on dvxuser what they would suggest as good lenses to buy for the ac130a.

I would like something to increase that zoom and one that makes it even wider.
I am interested in protective lenses that do not mess up the video for when I go to the beach or dirtier areas.

and any other cool lenses that fit the camera.
and any advice about what I should not do or look out for when buying one.

thanks and have a good day.

edit: I am a newbie to all this, perhaps I meant lens adapter or lens filter?

was looking at this for some close up nature shots

apparently you can add lenses to the ac130 by screwing them on the end of the lens..am I wrong in getting that impression?
I saw many vids where people were using fisheyes and uv lenses added to them.
I just got it, I might have misunderstood.
maybe lens adapter?

Maybe you're thinking of lens filters? If so, the AC130 has a 72mm filter thread for a UV/protective/polarizer. The lens itself is relatively wide and certainly long enough. Unless you have a specific need, e.g. skateboarding or wildlife, the AC130 won't require a wide angle or telephoto adapter.
 
I purchased a wide angle for my AC 90 to use on my GLIDECAM. However, my 130 does not need a wide angle and definitely not a tele-converter @ 22x. The lens is very wide and you will introducing CA and barrel distortion on the wide angle setting.
