Typing "fisheye lens" in the ebay.com search returns over 500 listings. What camera do you have?

  Medium format is a very low-volume, specialized market. Fisheye lenses for medium format an even smaller fraction of that market.
Bronica made a PS 35mm f/3.5 full-frame fisheye for the SQ-line of cameras. I don't know that there were any 3rd party lens makers that made lenses for Bronica SQ.
I did find this link - http://medfmt.8k.com/bronfe.html - that lists some alternatives, including 0.42x fisheye adapter that screws onto the front of a lens, and some Russian medium format fisheyes that may (or may not) be adapted to Bronica.
