The F lens mount is pretty tough, it was engineered long ago. The SLR lenses designed for it in 70s, 80s, 90s, compared to today’s lens equivalents, were heavier then. From my observation, typically the lens mount around the bayonet starts to brass from frequent/on off and the load put on it even on tripod or monopod when in use. I know my AF-S 300 F2.8D had some amount lens mount wear and it was a very strong lens, on D4 or D500 there was no markings at all from use.
The old ED-IF MF 400 F3.5, 600 F4 that I used with F2, F3 in the 80s were back breakers to carry around and easily wore at the lens flange but not the mount.
Unless it’s been dropped to where the mounting flange was put under stress, I doubt normal use would bend it....Show more →
Wow, I'm impressed to know that the mount is that strong. I was more concerned about being able to identify if the mount was bent or not. Someone mentioned earlier that the mount would have to separate from the body before it can bend. What do you think of this? From what you say, it appears that even heavy lenses can't cause the mount to bend.
