Default Need help on fisheye adapter

Hi guys.. I have Tokina 11-16 UWA and Tamron 17-50. Is there any fisheye adapter that fits the filter thread of my lenses? Toki is 77mm and Tammy is 67mm. I searched the web but mostly are for kits lens 18-55. Your help will be much appreciated

First off, the 11-16mm is already REALLY wide (even though it's rectilinear and not fisheye).
Secondly, those filters are junk. Don't bother...You have two REALLY nice lenses. Don't ruin them with "fisheye adapters"
