Replacement lenses for Firefly Q6 action camera

I posted about the Firefly Q6 yesterday:

Today I watched a video of a guy replacing the lens on the Q6 with a telephoto lens:

Very interesting. I know nothing about these types of lenses; however, found a "white paper":

Excellent, answers many questions.

The lens should match the sensor. OK, the Q6 has a Sony IMX078 12.4 megapixel CMOS sensor:

So if we want, for example, a lens for close-up work, it should be possible to use this knowledge to choose the right one. There are lots available online, for example:

...fascinating!
