Check the photos and the press release: "... users can simply unbolt the PL mount that comes as standard, bolt on the replacement mount, and shim as required." Based only on the photos, it looks like the procedure is to remove 6+ screws around the mount section, and install the new mount portion, along with any needed shims. Doesn't really seem like am "in the field" project, like the old T-mount system! -- Ken Hart

Doesn't really seem like am "in the field" project, like the old T-mount system! I'm sure it's not quick, but it sure beats being stuck with the mount you bought any expensive lens with. It would make it so much easier to switch brands, or even to use more than one brand of body.
