Fisheye conversion lens



Hi,

Does anybody tried to make panoramas using SLR-like camera with non-genuine fisheye 
conversion lens? Seems most of spherical panorama photographers are using 
SLRs and good fisheye lenses but I don't want to buy SLR so far. 
I am thinking what to do to make spherical panoramas.
I found three lenses as below. Will you recommend me to buy?
My SLR-like camera is KonicaMinolta Dimage A-200.

I checked Nikon FC-E9 also but it is too small for my A-200. Filter size of FC-E9 
is 46mm and A-200 is 49mm.
