Now that sounds interesting John ...  I haven't seen that  before ...Presume I could use the same with the F1000..

Polly... the Raynox can be mounted on any lens with filter threads of 52mm to 67mm, it's not an easy thing to use as images taken with no zoom turn out like they were taken through a small diameter tube. You have to zoom a lot to stop this effect and make a huge crop of the image, here is the original image which was taken with the camera on full zoom. Also the depth of field is very shallow so the camera needs to be set at about f/9.0 at least which in turns means a slow shutter speed and all the problems associated with that, it's not always possible to use a tripod as with this shot which was hand held. You can see how big my crop was in the other image. If you decide to get a Raynox there is more I could tell you about mainly concerning the supplied lens mount.

I'll bookmark this John and have a re read on  the link... So my 62 mm on the panasonic FZ 1000 would be ok  to take  one of these... Hmmmm   have you any  more examples of what you have been able to do with  that ... either to add on here or start a new post with John ...   Thanks for that ... I'll get back to you about the lens mount  additional info too.

Polly... I've had my Raynox for many years, I bought it to use with a Panasonic FZ100 camera. However I didn't use it much so I would have to search my files to find some more images taken with it. I ended up buying an expensive macro lens to use with my Canon DSLR so the Raynox spent years without being used, last December I got my Panasonic FZ2000 and I have started to use it again only recently and this Hoverfly shot is the best of the few shots I have taken with it. Regarding mounting one on your FZ1000 it should be fine, the filter thread on my FZ2000 is 67mm which is right on the limit, I found the spring clips didn't exert much pressure to keep the Raynox firmly in place. With your filter size being 62mm you shouldn't have that problem, I got over it by bying a couple of step down filter rings and coupled them together. I couldn't get a 67mm to 43mm so I got a 67-62mm and a 62-43mm and that works pretty good. I'll see if I can find some images to show you in due course.
