Panasonic Hdcsd5k

Hi there. I just purchased this HD camcorder, and I want to purchase a fisheye lens. I went to the Panasonic website, and they don't show one, tryed to call customer service and sat on hold for 2 hours, went to The Source, and the guy told me that I should buy one on ebay.

In the specs it says it's 37 mm. Are there different lens' for hd video vs digital camera? Can I get any 37mm lens? Are there different threads to different manufacturers??? HELP!

Not sure what you are getting at here partly because I don't know what you mean by "hd". Hard drive or high def? If high def, then yes, high def lenses and adapters are usually made to a higher quality than standard def due to the additional resolution on a high def cam. Flaws in the optics will be more visible on a high def cam. Unless you have a high def cam, you can use a lens for a standard def cam.

Digital cameras, I don't know. But you could always try one out and see if it works.
