The Canon R lens mount is a physical standard for connecting a camera lens to a 35mm single-lens reflex camera body. It was introduced in March 1959 along with the Canon Canonflex.
The R mount was used on Canon's first single lens reflex (SLR) camera. The mount employed a "breech lock" system to attach the lens to the camera body.[1]
The R mount was discontinued in 1964 and replaced with the Canon FL lens mount.[2] Many mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras are able to use Canon FL lenses via an adapter. The mechanism for controlling the aperture is different from both the later FL and FD mount, although they physically still can mate with most adapters.
