lensmounted

Lensmounted refers to a type of camera accessory or system where a lens is directly attached to a camera body. This is the standard configuration for most interchangeable lens cameras, such as DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. The connection is typically a bayonet mount, which allows for quick and secure attachment and detachment of different lenses. This system enables photographers to change lenses to suit different shooting conditions and desired effects, such as wide-angle for landscapes, telephoto for distant subjects, or macro for close-ups. The mount also facilitates the transmission of electronic signals between the lens and the camera body, controlling functions like autofocus, aperture, and image stabilization. Various camera manufacturers have their own proprietary lens mount systems, with specific designs and diameters, meaning lenses are generally not cross-compatible between different brands without adapters. The term can also be used more broadly to describe any situation where a lens is fixed or attached to a device, such as a security camera or a microscope objective.
