steven_endo Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 <p>Yes. That is Canon's "New FD" lens mount. Canon designed this to turn their venerable breech lock mount (w/ the chrome ring) into a bayonet mount. Somewhere around 45 degrees, that square chrome button should click and pop up a bit. To remove the lens, push in the chrome button and twist the lens.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck909 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 <p>It's red dot on camera to red bump on lens and then a little less than a quarter turn of the entire lens clockwise.<br> Don't push in the chrome button on the lens before you mount it.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
