1 Overview of Lensmounts

1.1 Sony E Mount

Seems to be a good choice because there are adapters available for almost every camera type for small money. Even active mounts for Canon EF

Pros

  • Flange focal distance 18mm
  • Outer diameter 46.1mm
  • Frame size APS-C, 35mm

Cons

  • not an open standard
  • licensing necessary
  • additional tolerance in the flange focal distance with an adapter

We can replace this board with our own adapter board to connect to the cameras I/O's


1.2 Open standard Mount

P+S Technik offers with their IMS mount an open standard. For AXIOM Beta the adapters are too expensive, but for sure an option for AXIOM Gamma.

Is there a affordable really open standard mount out there?

please add it here...
