Letus Economy Nikon locking mount/ Swappable

[MalcolmOng]

Hey just a quick question on the included mounts with the letus economy. It says that the adaptor comes with either a swappable canon FD/nikon AI mount - is that all i need? I have a D80, and a couple of the associated lenses which are compatible with the D80, so should i get the swappable mount, or just the nikon locking mount. Is there a difference? I would of course prefer flexibility, in case i borrow canon L lenses from friends who have it, etc, but if there's no difference between the swappable mount and the nikon locking mount, why would people bother with the nikon mount when they might as well just get the swappable one?

The Canon FD mount won't fit newer Canon EF lenses.

I got the Nikon locking mount because I like to hear the click.

The swappable mount does not lock the lenses in place, they are just held in by friction.

If you already have a Nikon camera, would you plan on buying an old Canon FD lenses?

Probably not. Hmmm, sounds like the nikon locking mount is better - sounds safer in any case. I'd have more peace of mind knowing that my lenses are clicked in place.
