Okay so i have a Jvc Gz-Mg20U

And i want to buy a fisheye lens for it. But i cant tell the lens size.

I looked up on eebay and they have a telephoto lens for this cam, it says thread size 46mm Does that mean i should like a 46mm fisheye.

Need help =/

46mm is strictly the diameter to be attached onto the camera mount. Fisheyes are most typically between 8-12mm in focal length.. so i would assume that the 46mm is just for the attachment size.

27mm is what you should look for on an add on.

if you search Jvc Gz-Mg20U specs it will tell you that it is 27mm so anything that is 27mm will fit.

So im looking for a 27mm fisheye, not a 46mm fisheye?
