I have a Panasonic PV-GS250, and I like the quality that I'm getting, but now I'm thinking about buying lenses for it. but could anyone advice me what lenses should I get for my camera as a Starting Film Maker? I know that there are many types, could someone walk me through?

wide angles are always nice.

Your camera doesn't have a mount for interchangeable lenses, so the best you can use are conversion lenses. You have to make sure you buy lenses with the same thread size on your camera.

There's really only two options: wide angle and telephoto. Wide angle lenses are like zooming all the way out. Telephoto lenses are like zooming all the way in.

Yeah, you can have some fun with wide-angle/fish-eye lenses. The rounded edges can help portray an emotion.

You could always find adapter rings, but then you run into cropping issues. It might be worth it. I bought a 2x telephoto and a .6 (I think) wide angle adapter for $50 on eBay. Those are for my still camera.
