As long as practicalities are being discussed, I should mention that mount 
diameter plays a part too. The mount you 
mention, many for the EOS EF mount and some others allow adapters as thin as 
1mm only if the mount on the camera is of 
adequately greater diameter than that of the lens.

The back part of the lens mount has to fit into an adapter that fits into the 
receiving mount. (Does that sound vaguely 
pornographic?)
