flange focal distance

Hello

In the discussion about mirrorless and there shorter flange focal distance, which can make the lens smaller or shorter, there is a point, I see it not often mentioned:

It's about the position of the back lens:

You can go as near as you can





or simple... let it be a little back in the case ;-)







The first position makes the lens construct as short as it can, but in the second example, it's like the lens was made for a bigger flange focal distance, and it must use therefore it's own case for to keep the back lens more fare away for a shorter flange focal distance.

In theory flange focal distance can be overcome.

Just make go deeper inside the camera like with this prototype.

Obviously if the flange focal distance is smaller and the mount opening larger it is easier to design lenses and adapters.

So, in theory, Nikon Z mount is the best one today.

You are right, but I did wonted to show if they really use that all the time.
Now that lens can change every mirror camera into a mirrorless....after one shot :-D

BTW, and really just for fun... the analog film was easier to handle

My smallest mirrorless FF camera with a 35mm f2.8 lens is the :
