Lens accessories for JVC GY-DVL120U at DVinfo.net

Does anyone know if there are lens accessories, such as filters or threaded mounts that work with this camera? It has no threads, but it has a 40.5mm filter diameter, so I figure it is meant to take something.

I'm really looking to attach a diopter to this to get much closer to my subject.

Thanks!

Actually, upon closer inspection under bright light, I discovered that the finely carved details inside the lens cone is the thread. Holy crap! I can't believe these threads are meant to hold anything but nothing. This camera will need rails just for a polarizer!

Anyways, thanks for looking!

If the filter threads are 40.5, that's the size filter you'll need. :-))

PS: your cam has nice zoom.
