Fisheye lens


I am a beginner but I saw a book that showed pictures taken with a "fisheye" lens. I have a Pentax ZX7 what would be the best fisheye lens to get. And also is a fisheye lens the same as a aspherical lens? Thank you for your help.

  My fisheye lense (which I love very much) is a "super fisheye lense". It attaches to a cameras filter ring. It is a very affordable alterative to high end fisheyes which can cost in the 1000s. Aspherical lenses are not the same as fish eye lenses. Aspherical lenses are lenses made with mosty flat glass to reduce internal reflections.
Here is a link where you can purchase one of these fisheyes http://porterscamerastore.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=09-0826&Category_Code=L1G
I hope this helps
