The present invention provides an intermediate adapter capable of being
mounted on a first camera on which a first interchangeable lens is
mounted and a second camera on which the first interchangeable lens and a
second interchangeable lens are mounted. The second interchangeable lens
includes a protruding portion protruding toward an image plane from its
mount reference surface whose protruding amount is larger than that of
the first interchangeable lens and has a flange back equal to that of the
first interchangeable lens. The first camera has a first wall portion
inside its mount and prevents mounting of the second interchangeable lens
by the protruding portion of the second interchangeable lens contacting
the first wall portion. The second camera includes a second wall portion
provided inside its mount at a position retreated from the protruding
portion of the second interchangeable lens.
