I believe that what you are describing is an adapter type of lens made for cameras which don't have interchangeable lenses. It would attach to the front of your existing lens to make the angle of view wider. I had something similar for an Olympus E20N to do close-ups. I also had a telephoto converter for a Canon SureShot. Both cameras came with a permanent non-removable lens. And the converter attached to the front, like eye glasses. On other cameras, where you can remove the lens entirely, you simply put on a wide lens and you are not converting.

The wide angle lens is called a fisheye lens.
A fisheye lens IS a wide angle lens
A tele-conversion lens attaches to a digital camera to increase the lens magnification. It enhances the telephoto effect and adds focal length.

There are a few camera lens types such as : a wide angle lens (used to capture a larger area than the area visible by a human eye), telephoto lens (opposite of wide angle), panoramic lens and so on.

For shooting landscapes, a wide angle lens is best, such as the Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L USM Wide Angle Lens. It will allow you to capture more of the landscape.
A 28mm wide angle lens is basically a wide angle lens for a 28mm camera. The book definition for wide angle lens it... "a camera lens having a wider than normal angle of view (and usually a short focal length); produces an image that is foreshortened in the centre". In may words, "A lens that you put on your camera that makes the frame (frame- what you see) wider. Ex. If your zoomed out all the way and your pointing your 28mm camera at a chair. You can see the whole chair and just the chair. If you put on your wide angle lens, you can see more. You could fit two of those chairs in your frame now. Basically, it makes your frame wider.
