Hi Leonardo,

Pentax makes a 16mm Fisheye and a Zoom Fisheye lens, both superb and 
expensive.

The term Fisheye refers to the spherical distortion particular to this design of 
lens.

For a view of the differences between fisheye and rectilinear lens (normal) 
see:

For other examples of fisheye images see:
