It seems that both names are in common use - An equisolid lens 
produces equal area photographs, and a lambert equal area azimuthal 
is the equivalent cartographic term.

I can imagine wanting to remap a 'lambert equal area azimuthal' 
panorama and being confused that I need to import it as an 
'equisolid fisheye'.

..but a photographer who has bought an equisolid lens wouldn't 
expect any other name.
