Indeed the camera have a tread is 47.7mm you will see a ring with 3 square holes in the front of the lens, you need a special tool or somethin that can grab 2 or 3 of the holes and carefully remove it by turning the ring counterclockwise. Even so I think will be hard to find the right filter and also you'll need an small extension ring because if you put a filter will touch the lens and it cannot get to the tread and as you can imagine that tread is not to attach a filter.

Yes it is possible to add a lens to the Nikon b500. There is an adapter you can add. I also added a Raynox 150 macro. Now the macro videos are great. Here's an example of a macro insect video.

Very true!

But, you could add a secondary lens using an adapter tube like this: Adapter Tube & Wide Angle Conversion Lens
