You'll need an adapter plus the lens. http://www.bhphotovide​o.com …C58N_0_7x_Wide_​Angle.html (external link)

Honestly for the price you'll pay for both of those you could buy a variety of compact cameras with wider lenses and achieve better results. Wide angle converters tend to degrade image quality.

If you have access to the software, you could simply shoot a panorama and stitch it together, giving you a similar effect.
