Lens Mount A lens mount refers to the mechanical interface and attachment mechanism used to connect a camera lens to a camera body. Lens mounts vary depending on the camera system and manufacturer, with each mount design featuring specific dimensions, alignment pins, and electronic contacts for communication between the lens and camera body. Common lens mount systems include Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony E, Fujifilm X, and Micro Four Thirds, among others.
Each lens mount is designed to ensure precise alignment and secure attachment of the lens to the camera body, enabling proper focusing, aperture control, and communication of lens data and metadata. Lens mounts may also support features such as autofocus, image stabilization, and electronic lens control, depending on the compatibility and specifications of the camera and lens system. |
