You can't go directly from equirectangular, so you need to convert
to an 'undistorted' fisheye first.
You will also need one of the original 'distorted' fisheye images to
use as a reference, it has to overlap at least some of the same
scene.
Add both images to a project, with fisheye set as the output format.
Select lots of control points and optimise roll, pitch, yaw, fov, a,
b & c for the 'undistorted' image - Leave the 'distorted' image in
place.
This *should* provide you with a set of reverse a, b & c parameters
that can be used to 'redistort' any 'undistorted' fisheye.
All untested of course, do let us know how you get on ;-) If you
are using hugin you will need to tweak the script before
optimisation as hugin doesn't yet know about fisheye as an output
format.
