FZ Lens Mount<br />
FZ Lens Lens Mount<br />
The F5 and F55 have a Sony FZ mount (same as on the F3).<br />
The flange focal depth is 19 mm. The diameter of the mount is<br />
approximately 84 mm. That’s much wider than an E mount or<br />
PL mount (54 mm diameter).<br />
There are 14 gold-plated contacts in the FZ mount (9-o’clock<br />
position) for lens control, metadata, and power.<br />
The bayonet locking ring (silver on F55, black on F5) is beefy<br />
and gets a seal of approval from the crew that recently used these<br />
cameras with big Fujinon Premier 75-300 mm zooms in the monsoons<br />
of Sri Lanka, mounted <strong>by</strong> way of the PL to FZ adapter.<br />
F5 and F55 cameras come with a Sony PL to FZ mount adapter.<br />
