A great idea Attila! I will add some when I can.

The Rikenon EE mount is a modified M42 with an extra lever to control aperture from the camera. I have no problems using it with a flanged M42 to EOS adapter, but I wonder if the lever would get stuck somewhere in a real M42 camera.



PS - this is a fantastic idea. if I get a chance I'll try to get a sharper pic of the Rikenon and contribute pics from a couple of my more mundane mounts.

suggestion - once we get a few mounts cataloged, could the first post in the thread be edited to include an alpabetical index of all the mounts?

I think I already have it... I have the edit button showing next to your first post. You gave me edit permissions for the equipment gallery section back when I started the film canister gallery. Wink

//Edit: Yep, it works. I've added a list to the first post. Cool

Bumping this because its a good idea, let's all add some weird and wonderful mounts to this thread

There are some information which have not mentioned together. For example, the M42 of Mamiya SX and Fujica M42 is a bit different than the other pain M42 mount. Another example include the LTM, Braun M39 and Russian M39. It might also worth to document the Komura interchangeable mount here.
