A breech lock is a system for mounting camera lenses to camera bodies. The lens is attached to the camera by means of a rotating ring which is used to tighten the lens to the camera by friction.[1]

Other methods for mounting a lens to a camera include bayonet mount or thread mounts. A breech lock can also be used to mount firearms. [2]
