Your 0.45x lens is actually a wide angle adapter rather than a fish-eye one. I have seen 0.17x adapters and something around 0.25x on e-bay but quality for all of these is not impressive. If you have an interchangable lens camera (DSLR or Mirrorless) a true fish-eye lens such as Rob suggests will give you much better results. If your camera is a fixed lens model then these adapters are the only hardware option. Combining multiple images (the software option) works very well for more static subjects but is useless with action shots!
