I agree with mh68 - but just to clarify from your question - the FZ50 is a fixed lens camera not a dslr so you cant change the lens - but you can , as mark suggests, screw addaptors onto the filter thread to give you more reach.

as regards wildlife the best thing is to develop your feild craft to get as close as possible (within reason as the welfare of the subject always comes first) thus enabling you to get to a range where a 12x zoom will do the biz
