I use the above camera with a Bauer Macro-Neovaron 1.5/8.5-40 lens.
I know very little about lenses and want to know if there are other lenses available for this camera and if it is possible to change the lens on it. I would like to get hold of a wider angle lens.
Any information gratefully received

Hi Magnus,
your camera's lens will be fixed permanently to the body (panic if it isn't). The makers at this part of the market made different models with different lenses and you bought the model to suit your requirements and budget.
If you need a wider view you would either need to find another model with the wider lens you require or invest in a wide angle adaptor which screws in front of the lens.
