Northlight has uncovered a USPTO patent application that shows a design for a lens mount adaptor that allows for different flange distances with different adaptors.
The patent covers a lot of options, so this may be part of many more patents that deal with adaptors and lens mounts.
This patent also covers options for including lenses in the adapter for both wide and tele conversion.
Obviously there could be some full frame mirrorless camera implications with this sort of patent.
Opinions and predictions are fun, and there is a ton of chatter on the web about what Canon and Nikon are going to bring to the world of prosumer full frame mirrorless camera bodies.
Tony Northrup gives his predictions in the video above about what he thinks we’ll see announced from both companies over the next 6-12 months.
A full frame mirrorless camera from Canon is obviously going to be talked about a lot between now and the inevitable announcement, and we’ll keep reporting new information, and keep confirming past information.
