Putting a lense on a FS200

[Blanc/Noir]

So the fs200 doesn't have threads in it but after watching a lot of videos apparently I can glue on a step down ring. I am also hoping to buy a cheap wide angles lense for it. I have two questions though.

1. Some people say it should be a 34-37mm step down ring, others say 37-43mm but which one will actually fit best.

2. Could any wide angle lense with the correct mm size fit? Does it have to be a certain brand or such?

I can't answer your first question, but any screw-in wide angle lens with the right thread diameter should work fine. I'd try and avoid really cheap wide angle adaptors if you can - remember everything you're recording is going through it. Cheaper lenses will probably lose you more light, have more aberrations and imperfections and generally be of poorer build quality.

In my experience, it's not "probably" but "always." This may not bother you, but...buyer beware.
