It is possible to attach a wide angle and/or telephoto lens to this camera if you would so desire. By weary these lenses are going to be hard to find, plus they raise the fstop value of the camera, which can cause big lighting and quality problems.

You would need a teleconverter which would simply magnify the existing range, doubling it. This has terrible tradeoffs including light loss, sharpness/clarity loss, and increased camera shake. In my mind, just not worth it.

Just on a side note, I mostly agree with James as far as the tradeoffs go, but recently with the newer teleconverting lenses and adapters, I hear very good reviews with people saying that the quality of the images, as well as, even the fstop raising is just about as good as the original, and they're very happy with it. Just something you may want to look in to.

I'd have to see it to believe it. My experience is that unless you're a studied eye, you'll just accept the convenience of it. But even so, it doesn't stop the added camera shake as a result.
