The answer is a qualified "yes" in many cases. Of course you don't get autofocus, nor do you get any sort of focus confirmation unless you use a special adapter with built in electronics. In addition you don't get any sort of automatic iris operation. Stop Down Metering In most SLRs and DSLRs, focusing is done at full aperture, and if you set the aperture to, say, f11, it remains fully open until just before exposure, then it stops down for the exposure and opens up again.

P.C.
D. , Dec 15, 2006; 02:18 p.m. Is there any way to identify, visually only, which camera manufacture a lens mount is for? I often see third-party lenses available online from other sites than the camera dealers (B&H, KEH, etc.) and not on eBay, but I have no idea if those would fit my *ist DL. Pictures are always posted (or can be requested) but the sellers often are in the position where they have no idea of the mount themselves - for example at shopgoodwill.com they take what they get without knowing the ancedents. I know M42 screwmounts are pretty near universal, but I look at the bayonet mount lenses and have no idea... So, IS there a way to look at a picture of a bayonet mount and determine if it's for a Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Minolta, or whatever body?
Lens mount. Female lens mount of an Minolta XD-7 with male mount of Minolta MC-Rokkor 58mm 1:1.4 lens A lens mount is an interface — mechanical and often also electrical — between a photographic camera body and a lens.
It is confined to cameras where the body allows interchangeable lenses, most usually the rangefinder camera, single lens reflex type or any movie camera of 16 mm or higher gauge. Digitalrokkor ©2011. In this section we will review the technical details behind this new solution with the aim to demonstrate how we can transform a Canon DSLR in a DSLR that can accept the Minolta MC/MD Rokkor manual focus lens using an only mechanical "adapter" that allow us to focus to infinity maintaining the original optical quality. The possibility to use a lens (with X mount) on a DSLR (with a different Y mount) is tied essentially to the concept of optical register ("tiraggio" in Italian). But what does the "register" mean ? Optical register is the distance (in millimeters) between the focal plane (CMOS sensor plane or film plane) and the flange's top plane (this is a simple definition, I do not want to speak about optical physic and in particular about nodal point for a lens....too difficult for many people).

Second in a series. I know the T-mount designations are chronological, but what are the differences? Which are interchangable with which? T and T2 are the same?

This table tells you if a fully manual lens with X mount will work on a camera that uses the Y mount using only a dumb adapter (one that has no electronics and no optics).
If the lens is not fully manual, the adapter needs to have electronics to control aperture and/or autofocus. Adapters that do this without driving you crazy with random issues cost a lot of money. As I don't mind focusing manually and setting the aperture directly on the lens, I use vintage or Samyang glass. Camera Lens Adapters. Versatility, and saving money with the continued use of the preferred lenses you already own.

An adapter flanked by the body of the camera and a lens from different brands, this registration distance of the adapted lens must be larger than the registration distance on the body; plus the lenses throat-size must be less than the throat size on the body mount.
