How many of you are using your removable mounts?

[Luis Caffesse]

So I have my adapter sitting here (LEX) - when we got it we ordered it with the Nikon mount. I had plans at the time of getting the PL mount as well, and maybe the Canon mount. The versatility sounded great... etc etc

Well long story short I have the Nikon mount on there and I've never taken it off.
So I'm just curious - how many of you are actually using different lens mounts on your adapters?

I'm assuming the majority of us are using either Nikon, Canon, or PL mount lenses (just guessing here).
But how many are actually using two or more types of lenses?

All the time. M42, Nikon and PL mount. I switch between zem. Will do the same when I get the Ultimate.

I flip flop between fd and nikon depending on what's available for a specific project.

I bought mine with both a Canon and Nikon (and later got a M42 mount). Had the intention of getting some nice Canon lenses, but other things got in the way. With the exception of a short amount of testing some Zeiss Lenses, where only one could actually fit on the M42 mount - I've kept the Nikon mount on it.

I have a Nikon mount and cheap adapter rings (about 20 Euros each) for Practica and M42.

Here´s a picture with the Practica ring - actualy more a tube than a ring because of backfocus reasons with middleformat lenses.

We set a record today for mount swaps/hour with a lens testing series that included the following lenses and mounts:

1. 50mm f1.4 Minolta Rokkor MD
2. 50mm f1.4 Nikkor
3. 50mm f1.8 Nikon
4. 50mm f1.4 Canon FD

Once one mount is set uring the micro-collimation system, the rest are done too, making swaps possible in seconds with correct collimation distances set. We'll have this lens test series posted in the next few days including evaluation of barrel distortion, edge falloff, resolution wide open, resolution stopped to f5.6, and color using the DSC labs rear illuminated chart system.

Overall conclusions...they're all good and the cheap Nikon f1.8 has the least barrel distortion of any of the more expensive lenses. The Minolta MD Rokkor stood out with respect to low breathing during focus racks.
