I use a Pentax Q with the standard lens and would like to try a fisheye without spending much. Pentax has an official fisheye, but I’m looking for a cheaper option just for casual experimentation. Are there any budget or third-party fisheye lenses available for the Pentax Q mount?

I'm not aware of any third parties making Q-mount lenses. Speculating not very wildly, the relatively tiny market for the Q, the significantly different sensor size and the need for the in-lens leaf shutter for Q mount lenses all make it not an attractive platform for third parties, so I wouldn't expect this to change any time soon.

Probably not. Based on the available answer, there don’t appear to be third-party Q-mount fisheye lenses. The Pentax Q system was a very small market, uses a different sensor size than most interchangeable-lens systems, and Q-mount lenses also rely on an in-lens leaf shutter design, which makes the mount less attractive for third-party makers. So if you specifically want a lens that fits the Q mount directly, the Pentax fisheye is likely your main option.
