Notes

  • Flange focal distance is the distance from the mount's reference face to the image plane; adapters and extension tubes must add exactly the difference between two mounts' flange distances to keep infinity focus.
  • RF replaced EF on Canon's mirrorless bodies: the 54 mm diameter stayed, and the flange distance went from 44 mm to 20 mm, which is why an EF-to-RF adapter is 24 mm thick.
  • No file: the bayonet's lug widths, angles, depths and locking geometry are not published by the maker, so nothing is drawn. Only the published numbers are given.
