Have you been curious about other lens mounts<\/strong> and wondered how they stack up to the mount you use? Well, you’re not alone. In fact, for years on end I only stuck to one type of lens mount. <\/strong>Luckily, over the last few years I’ve been able to explore each of the main lens mounts.\u00a0<\/strong>This got me wondering: Does the general filmmaker know the difference between these types of mounts?<\/strong><\/p>\n Let’s list out the most commonly used lens mounts,\u00a0<\/strong>explore each one, and then compare them. Hopefully we’ll learn something new about mounts and the lenses we use.<\/p>\n Used by more filmmakers and video producers than any other mount, the EF was\u00a0introduced\u00a0by Canon in 1987 and has gone on to become the most versatile mount on the market<\/strong>. The largest reason for this wider adoption is Canon’s massive reach in the DSLR market for both photographers and indie filmmakers.<\/p>\n The video below from Morgan Jouquand<\/a>\u00a0was shot in 2014 using a Canon 5D Mark III with 24-70mm & 35mm EF-Mount lenses.<\/strong><\/p>\nCanon EF-Mount: The Standard<\/h3>\n
