what lenses can you buy for the P500?

This camera is an intermediate step between a point-and-shoot and an SLR. While it has many features, it does not have the interchangeable lens capability of an SLR.

I had two Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD lenses, one for Canon and one for Nikon, both came in with plastic case. I enjoyed both lenses with Auto shots.

Any E-mount lens. You can get Sony, Zeiss, and also lenses from many of the aftermarket companies. I bought the Sony brand 16mm for mine, plus it comes with the Sony 18-55mm zoom.

Blue lenses are excellent for all types of light. We currently have the +2.5 in stock but not the +3. Hope that helps.

If money is no object, get the FA 77mm Limited. It's the legendary Pentax portrait lens that we all dream about. Otherwise, I'm sure the DA 50mm 1.8 that's been recommended is a fine prime lens. The WR 18-55 and WR 18-135 (the one I purchased) are good general purpose zooms.

Honestly, there are some available on ebay with buyer protection (but I understand why you would want to get it from the above places instead). The 70-200mm is a great lens, but if you have your heart set on this particular lens you should wait to get this one :)I just ordered one from ebay but I did my research on the seller first.

You can get an adapter for the nikon coolpix p500 on ebay that enables you to use additional filters.

Look up the model for Nikon on the Amazon site: Bower SLY500PN High-Power 500mm f/8 Telephoto Lens for Nikon. That should be what you need. The SLY500PN says it comes with the T-mount for Nikon cameras. Remember that when you use the lens on your camera, you can only use a couple of manual modes when shooting.

I ordered the A5000 for my daughter. She wanted something that was small and would fit in her bag. She also wanted something that had the possibility to change lenses. Her husband is in to photography and recommended we get it for her birthday. She loves it! Hope that helps!

The 18-250 is the highest powered zoom currently on the market for Pentax DSLRs, at 13.9X. If you want higher magnification, look for lens with greater than 250mm at the long end. Several popular lens include the Tamron and Sigma 70-300, the Pentax 55-300, and if you have the cash, the Bigma 50-500. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses, which you can research on dpreview.com 50mm is about what the naked eye sees. So anything less than 50mm will appear smaller, and further away. Wide angle lens can go as low as 10mm to capture as much as possible.

Yes quite a few and very nice quality lenses, and more coming out soon. I bought the 55mm to 200mm myself.

Another option is getting the 50mm 1.8 for about a hundred bucks. Takes great shots and you can still buy the 28-135. I bought my 28-135 used and love having both lenses.

Yes! Any lens that is for Micro Four Thirds will work! Doesn't matter what brand.

It works with the d5000 so it should. It is more of a fun lens to have than serious but a real fisheye is much more expensive.

Hi Clinton, you can use this Sony lenses: SEL55F18Z or SEL1855. Works great for portraits. -Ely

Mine worked on my CoolPix p520. Probably a good chance the camera body is the same on the p500. The price was right!
