Can anyone interpret the language in the patent application? For example, what are:

"annular packing made of a resilient material"

"packing-compatible camera body" and "packing-incompatible camera body"

My five-year-old version of Netscape won't open the images.

Thanks,

Joe


It is basically a design to allow weather resistant lenses and non- weather resistant lenses to be used on the same camera body, regardless of the design of the (K-mount) body. It has probably already been incorporated into the weather resistant lenses we now have available. The patent was filed March 27th, 2008. Usually, a patent isn't filed until the product is ready to go to production, to prevent competitors from gleaning ideas from the filed patent. Best if you already have a working model of the object.

I have all the drawings and the specifications if you want them I can send them to you email off list.
