[edit] Diameters

Flange diameter measurements should probably also be noted, as the flange focal distance, flange diameter, and mount type are the three main characteristics of a lens mount. Girolamo Savonarola 05:34, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

For that matter, define "flange". On some mounts the registration surface is the front, others the back, others something else. Richard J Kinch 19:43, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
If the flange isn't the surface on the camera, then how exactly would the measuring probes work? Because all of the ones I've seen have to be used with the mount itself, not the lens surface. Girolamo Savonarola 20:15, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
