Focusing lens mount
Not certain this is an actual term. Seems to be somewhat describing lens mount, which is already covered, but strangely that article was started by the same anonymous user, so I think (s)he intended to describe separate terms. English might not be their first language (IP is in NYC); I suspect that "lens focusing element(s)" might be something closer to what is meant, but can't be sure. Nonetheless, Googling for "focusing lens mount" doesn't seem to turn up much relevant to what is discussed in the article. Anyone with further knowledge, please proffer it!

 * I don't know anythign about it, but if it's verifiable, I think it should be merged to lens mount. JPD (talk) 16:26, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete Never heard of it, there is nothing of value to add to lens mount and I cannot see the usefulness of a redirect. Egil 03:48, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment how are we to merge something that no one yet seems to be able to verify or understand anything about? I'm not against merging, but let's be honest here, who would do this and how? Girolamo Savonarola 19:08, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to lens mount. Green Giant 00:15, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment It seems the idea is to differentiate between lens deigned for use with View cameras were focusing is done by moving the lens mount and a lens for a camera were the lens mount is fixed. This info is already in the Photographic lens article. Merging it into the lens mount article would not make sense because it’s describing a property of lenses and not lens mounts.
