I just read the interview with Yasuyuki Nagata of Sony, in which he used the term "lens attachment rate." Being relatively new to digital photography, I'd never heard this term before. So I Googled it; the only results were links to this interview. Hmmm. So I went to Wikipedia and entered it as a search term--and got the no results message. Can anyone tell me what Mr. Nagata is referring to and why it is germane? Thanks!

The ratio of lenses to cameras sold. A low attach rate would be, say, <=1 lens per camera, a high attach rate would be 5 lenses per camera. Basically every manufacturer wants to sell more lenses than cameras (for a variety of reasons).

How quick to attach a lens to a body.
In the old days of screw mount lenses, though the connection to the camera was considerably more robust, it was also extremely time consuming as each lens required approximate;y 4-5 full rotations to attach. And another 4-5 reverse rotations to unattach.
With the advent of the bayonet mount which only required 1/4 - 1/3 rotations it opened up the speedy swapping from wide angle to telephoto to ensure we capture in detail the once in a lifetime shot of the crocodile eating nanna

Could be twice if you got 2 nannas.

In your case that would be the "lens adoption rate"

That would be the "lens attachment delay".
Sure, then they want to move in and pay no rent.
Really? I have enough room for all of your lenses and they don't need to pay a penny, nor share the bed!

What it really means (to Sony at least) is:
"Lens to Body SALES ratio"
"Lens to Body SALES ratio"

That's revealing. The overpriced and underperforming E-mount lens system shows Sony must be trying to drive profits very much with their lenses, like selling cheap printers and expensive ink.

Hehe, although the statistical chances of getting two such shots approaches zero unless one has their own cache of crocodiles...
