Strange vintage lens mount, any ideas?

( www.reddit.com )

Strange vintage lens mount, any ideas? I came across this weird lens mount whilst going through a bin. It’s not threaded so I guess it’s some kind of snap lock on the camera end. But it doesn’t fit any of the cameras in the same bin. The lens is a auto vivitar telephoto 40mm 6.3f. the diameter is 41mm. (Yes it’s not 42 – double checked) submitted by /u/Devilofswe

Can I swap a fuji x mount for a sony e?

( www.reddit.com )

Can I swap a fuji x mount for a sony e? So, I purchased a Laowa 9mm f2.8 from eBay. All the way in china. The person sent the fuji x mount lens instead of the Sony E mount. Sony E has a flange distance of 18mm and fuji has a distance of 17.7. That 0.3mm distance makes it so it’s impossible to adapt the fuji to the sony. I was wondering if it would work if I swapped the fuji mount from…

Just got my Tamron 70-180 I for $580, wants a tripod mount. Any recommendations? Just got a first-gen 70-180 2.8 for myself as a Lunar New Year’s present for $580. However my main camera is actually an a6000 making the body very imbalanced while mounting on a tripod. Therefore, I’m looking for some good 3rd party tripod mount for that. Any recommendations? submitted by /u/OrganicInformation15

What is the mount on this Joby tripod for? I can’t for the life of me figure out or find online what this specific mount is for. It is slightly curved with a release button on the side.

A to E mount adapter? I’m looking to get into macro/product photography. I own a Sony A6400, I don’t have a ton of money to throw at this and it’s a learning experience all around so wanting to cheap out some. Considering grabbing an A to E mount adapter and a Minolta 100mm f/2.8 macro lens. Fairly cheap lens, but wondering about adapters, I’ve seen the Sony ones for…

Is it okay to remove this piece from my Smallrig monitor mount?

Is it okay to remove this piece from my Smallrig monitor mount? I recently got a cage setup for my camera from Smallrig and bought an external monitor from Viltrox. I was having trouble setting up the monitor at the back of the top grip due to this twisty piece blocking access to the HDMI In slot. I’m quite new to all of this, but after research, it seems like the twisty piece is supposed to loosen and tight…

24-120 z S vs 70-200 f mount? I have been taking photos as a hobby and as kind of my work’s default photographer for the better part of a decade on a d3400 and I recently decided to upgrade to a used z6 with a 50 1.8s for better low light performance. I’m loving it so far and it’s got me taking way more photos and just generally prioritizing bringing my camera along day to d…

Should I buy a mount adapter?

Should I buy a mount adapter? I have a few F-mount lenses for my Nikon. I recently made the jump to a mirrorless Sony Alpha with an E-mount. Is it worth buying the adaptor (and losing auto-focus) or just start buying Sony lenses? submitted by /u/Tie-Cautious

Can someone help with Tablet Tripod Mount suggestions? I’ve been looking for a desktop tripod mount for a large tablet (S10 Ultra). One of the key problems I was having was finding a cradle for the tablet while it’s in it’s case (needed fingers at least .8 inches long). I finally found one on Amazon (haven’t purchased it yet). Looks like it has a 1″ (25mm) ball on the end of it. It also looks like …

What do I need to mount a reflector on a tripod? Just wondering if anyone has used a tripod to support a curved reflector for headshots? I do have some C stands, but I’ve also got a few tripods hanging around so might be good to put one of those to use rather than having them gathering dust or sold off for a fraction of their worth. Anyone know what connector/adapter I’d need to make it work? …

How to frame a print without a mount (mat)?

How to frame a print without a mount (mat)? I bought some custom sized frames without mounts (just backing board, glass and frame). I totally neglected to think about how I’m going to attach the print as I normally tape it to a mount (mat). What is the easiest way for me to do this? Or can I just put the print straight in (it’s sized the same as the frame)? I’m thinking the latter probab…

Is a CO-Y lens mount compatible with Minolta AF camera body, and is it the same as a C/Y mount?

Is a CO-Y lens mount compatible with Minolta AF camera body, and is it the same as a C/Y mount? Basically what the title says. I bought a lens and was told it was a Minolta lens, it turned out to be a CO-Y mount, which as far as I can tell means it’s a C/Y mount? It also says macro on it in the same green text as the mount, in case that’s important. My main concern is the compatibility with my Minolta Maxxum 400SI 35mm SLR film camera. I’m…
