This page seems very confusing. The title suggests it will be a list of lens mounts but it also brings in unrelated information like film vs digital, digital sensor types, large format camera vs small format. It leaves out the minimal information about the lens mount variations that would make the list useful like, say, flange distance. This makes it difficult to a) know where on the page to look to find a particular mount type and b) know where on the page add a new mount type. For example, I was going to add some of the T mounts (T2, T-4, etc) but they can occur on both digital and film cameras as well as on other types of equipment. I'd suggest a major reorganization of the page into a sortable table with fields like "mount name", "camera type", "flange distance", "mechanical description" (e.g. M39x26tpi, breech lock, bayonet, etc), and then maybe a comment field. Thoughts, comments?
