Bayonet Mount vs Screw Mount...

Screw mount add-on lenses work with a several cameras assuming they use all the same thread.
Bayonet mount add-on lenses only with with the camera they were designed to work with.

The best wide angle and telephone lenses (for the DVX) are bayonet mount.
 
If you need to be quick a bayonet is the way to go. Running somewhere to get a shoot while trying to screw on your lens is not funny.
 
Plus the bayonet mount is much stronger. I hate to think of the fragile lens threads trying to support monster glass like the Century 1.6x tele-extender.
