A List of Lens Mounts for Both Film and Digital Cameras

     1697 words  8 minutes 
This is a list of camera lens mounts for various camera systems. Both film and digital cameras are included.

Here is a list of camera lens mounts. The list includes both film and digital cameras.

Flange focal distance is the distance from the front of the camera lens mount to the imaging plane. (Digital sensor or film)

Mirrorless camera has shorter flange distances than SLR cameras because they don’t have the reflex mirror. That extra space allows room for an adapter to be used to allow lenses to be mounted to a camera body it was not originally intended for.

For small camera modules, used in e.g. CCTV systems and machine vision, a range of metric thread mounts exists. The smallest ones can be found also in e.g. cellphones and endoscopes. The most common by far is the M12x0.5, followed by M8x0.5 and M10x0.5.

M4.2x0.2 (1/7" sensors) M4.6x0.25 (1/5", 2.4mm, 3.8mm sensors, industrial endoscopes) M5x0.35 (1/6", 1/5" sensors) M5.5x0.35 (1.7", 1/5.8", 1/5", 1/4" sensors) M6x0.35 (1/4", 5.2mm, 4.85mm sensors) M6.4x0.25 (1/3" sensors) M7x0.35 (1.8", 1.7", 1/6", 1/5", 1/4", 1/3.6", 1/3.2", 1/2.7", 4.85mm sensors) M8x0.35 (1/4", 1/3" sensors) M8x0.5 (1/5", 1/4", 1/3" sensors; sometimes occurs in diode laser modules) M9x0.5 (1/2.7", 1/3", 1/3.2" sensors; also commonly encountered in diode laser modules) M10x0.5 (1/4", 1/3" sensors) M12x0.5 (the S-mount, listed in the table) M22x0.5 (1/1.2" sensors)
