I am looking for adding a wide angle lens to the Raspberry Pi v2 camera. Googling helped me locate a 3D printed lens holder and lens that I can attach to the v2 camera. Now I have the M12 lens and the M12 lens holder. I am not sure how to proceed further. Should I remove the existing lens on the Raspberry Pi camera?
I tried adding the M12 lens and holder to the camera gives me blurry images.

According to the comments section of the lensholder at Thingiverse one has to remove the PiCamera's lens. Note that removing the lens makes the camera susceptible to dust and damage. Be extra careful with the open sensor.

Yes, there is, you'll have to remove it. Its not the easiest thing in the world, but its completely doable.
I would recommend you print a Pi camera lens spanner, such as this one : https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1574661
You print two of these, one to hold the body, the other to unscrew the lens.
Be careful though, once you remove the lense, the CMOS sensor is completely unprotected and vulnerable to even the smallest speck of dust.

Thank for your reply. Your double negative statement confuses mea bit. Let me translate it to something like this - "I cannot say more than the OP asks". I remember one year ago when I first joined this Q&A site, many of my answers were told to be irrelevant, or out of topic. If this is Rpi SE's policy, I fully agree with you.

@tlfong01 I fail to get your point. The OP asks how to use a M12 lens (that he already purchased) with a M12 lensholder (that he already printed) and the PiCam, more specifically if he needs to remove the original lens. This is what my answer addresses. Obviously your alternative to use a wide angle lens that directly fits the PiCam would be another way to go. There is likely no harm in including that alternative as part of this answer or have another user post another answer. If you ask why did I not include that option, the answer is simple: I did not think of it in the first place.
