RE: [Leica] CRM's PAW 13 (Late April Fools Shots)

They call it an Auxiliary Semi Fish-Eye Lens . As I recall, the unit itself
is a Series 7 (???), but you order it with an adapter to a filter thread. I
think it was about $50.  You can find older ones on the auction site from
Spiratone.

It seems like the most exotic lenses are the least used and the most
expensive.  This inexpensive attachment allows me to get the urge for a
fisheye out of my system.  I have used it twice in three years.

Of course, I should move the camera closer to the subject.

Adorama makes this adapter for what lenses? That's a cool effect.
I tried the fisheye thing a few years ago with a garden ornament:

not so high a quality image as with your adapter, but similar in nature and 
it was free.

(Personally, I think the sot with your glasses on is spookiest for
Halloween.)
