there are about ten million threads on "what camera to buy" and stuff, and im sure that panasonic comes up in about 2/3 of them. so just check the searchbar

you get what you pay for... and that adapter is a piece of junk.  Save up a bit more and get a better wide angle adapter, you'll regret buying that thing.

Check out bhphoto.com and pick up a good piece of glass.  That cheap stuff is worthless. 

here's a start, check out anything 37mm.  I think that's what the GS80 thread size is.
