<p>I was told that adapters exist that allow you to mount an additional lens on a non-threaded camcorder.  Are these adapters worth it?  How common are they?</p>

Product recommendations and shopping for you are explicitly off-topic for this site, however there was other important related to the products you are looking for that I thought were worth communicating enough to edit the question a bit so it could still be touched on without directly closing the question.
