Merged with the Canon FD mount ?
I am quite ignorant about the Canon SLRs, but is the difference between the FL and FD mount such to need two separate categories? I would think that the difference is of the same nature as between the Nikon F, Nikon AI and Nikon AI-S mounts, for example. I would rather have one "Canon FL/FD mount" category, or put all the FL mount cameras in the FD category. --Rebollo fr 07:01, 7 June 2006 (EDT)
- In a word, no.
- In practice it's a little more significant than the difference between F and AI, at least if we compare Canon users who know what they're doing and Nikon users who know what they're doing. (I know nothing about AI-S.) FL is not normally regarded as FD, so putting FL into FD would be strange -- and also potentially misleading. Having a single "Canon FL/FD mount" category seems unnecessary trouble (somebody would have to rewrite all those links) for an end of little or no apparent merit.
- You'll be thrilled to learn that the FL mount followed, and was significantly different from, the P mount.
- Why would you rather have fewer/bigger categories? -- Hoary 07:13, 7 June 2006 (EDT)
