Something I can screw on?

there are fisheye attachments, but the feedback is that they're crap.

and i guess 'cheap' here is relative.
there are currently 4 af fisheye lenses for canon eos systems:
- ef 15mm f/2.8
- sigma 15mm f/2.8
- sigma 8mm f/3.5
- sigma 8mm f/4

but the cheapest option will be the peleng 8mm.

Fisheye attachments (those that screw into filter threads) are hideous. Comical and novel once in a while but generally useless.

Canon, Zenitar, Peleng and Hartblei make true fisheye lenses:
