This is a work in progress.
A bayonet coupling is a way of attaching a lens, or a lens accessory such as a filter or hood, typically by a push-and-twist action. It has the advantage of being faster to mount or demount than a screw-thread, and it automatically puts the lens or accessory in a certain alignment once mounted.
Bayonet lens-mounts
One of the problems many users and collectors may encounter, is to positively identify a bayonet mount of an isolated lens they are looking at. This comes into play especially with the third party lenses.

Bayonet hood and filter mounts
- Franke & Heidecke adopted three bayonet mounts for the various lenses offered with the Rolleiflex cameras. These serve hoods, filters and close-up lens pairs. Some other makers of TLR cameras have adopted the Rollei bayonets, particularly the Bay I fitting.
- Some Hasselblad lenses use bayonet filter mounts.
