A bayonet coupling is a way of attaching a lens, or a lens accessory such as a filter or hood, typically by a push-and-twist action. It has the advantage of being faster to mount or demount than a screw-thread, and it automatically puts the lens or accessory in a certain alignment once mounted.
Most lens mounts in current use are bayonet style.
