Wide Tele Camcorder

Will placing a larger lens over a small lens improve light and color capture?
I know that a larger camcorder lens 58mm will capture more light than a 37mm lens-ed camcorder. Right?
So, if I screw in a wide lens or tele lens whose outer lens diameter is greater than 58mm, to the 37mm-camcorder-lens, will I capture as much light as a 58mm-camcorder-lens would? since there is a greater surface area for light to enter?
Hi Rey:
I know that in theory your logic sounds good: bigger lens surface = more light entry. And for what's called a "prime lens", for the most part "bigger is better" as far as diameter goes.
But when you start adding lens adapters on the front of other lenses, you actually LOSE light (a half f-stop or more). The more lens surfaces the light has to travel through, the more light is lost.
The more-pro cameras have both a larger front and rear lens elements, to achieve just what you are trying for, but no pro would screw on a front adaptor unless he/she really had to.
hope this helps,
