I think this deserves a bit of a warning. I have just checked and Nikons lens mounting face to the front edge of the mirror in down position is 16mm. Mirror swinging up will take about 3mm off that. These things are about 38mm deep so it is all too easy to mount a bit deep and then kill your camera when tripping the shutter.
