Any lens with a Canon EF or EF-S mount can be used on your T2i. All camera manufacturers use a proprietary lens mount and there is no compatibility between them. So a lens for a Canon can only be used on a Canon, a lens for a Sony can only be used on a Sony, a lens for a Pentax can only be used on a Pentax, a lens for a Nikon can only be used on a Nikon.
Although there are adapters made that will allow a lens from one manufacturer to be used on another manufacturer's camera body they really aren't worth the trouble unless you have a very high-end lens like a Nikon 50mm f1.2 prime lens that you want to use on your Canon.
So just be sure to buy lenses made with the Canon EF or EF-S mount and they'll be fine on your T2i.
I suggest renting a fisheye lens to use for a day or two before actually buying one. Its highly likely that you'll quickly grow tired of the effect so you'll only be out a few dollars for the rental fee.
