You'd need some sort of conversion lens because the GL2 doesn't let you swap lenses. (I assume you knew that).

To answer your question, I don't really know. If I wanted something like that, I'd use a WA convertor and use some program to put on an effect.

I think some sports (especially skateboarding) do look good with fisheyes attached.

I did find this: http://forums.skateper​ception.com/index.php?​showtopic=49137 (external link)

I think anything from Century Precision Optics is awesome IMHO. :)

Expensive, but it would be very nice I'd say. :)

Yes, that fisheye is nicknamed the "Death lens", and they also have a smaller version for it for smaller camcorders called a "baby death lens". I have the baby death lens, haha. The Death lens is probably the best lens right now to go on a GL2. There is also a discontinued Nikon lens (fc-e9), that is wider than the death lens, but they are hard to find and needs modification to fit a GL2.
