The likely biggest problem will be that the screw holes won't match, so you might need to drill new holes in the plate to match the adapter.

Indeed. Looking at the two adapters linked, one uses four screws and the other six, so some work is going to be required. You might be able to avoid this by finding two adapters from the same manufacturer, if possible. Also, the lens lock pin is in a different place on the two mounts, so more work required there.

Hi there.

Yes I know that holes are in a different place. I had that issue when I modified the mount to fit the lens that was originally Canon mount. Also the lock pin I found is not big issue because the mount that I'm planning to use is quite stiff so the lens is well attached even before pin locks. I was thinking to remove the pin and use without it. I'm not planning to go hiking with lens attached to the camera hanging around my neck

BR, Igor
