This is a simple, but elegant, rear lenscap for Minolta SR (also known as MC and MD) mount lenses. These lenses were used on Minolta SLRs from 1958 on, but were essentially orphaned after Minolta moved to an autofocus mount in 1985 because the SR flange-to-film distance is less than most other mounts can adapt without loss of infinity focus. However, they work great on mirrorless cameras such as the Sony A7/A7R. You can still buy rear caps, but this one has a bit more style.

About the author:
ProfHankD
I'm a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Kentucky, best known for things like having built the world's first Linux PC cluster supercomputer in 1994... although around the 3D-printing world I'm probably best known for my HingeBox (which Tested popularized). My research group (Aggregate.Org) really is about improving computing systems by making the various SW+HW components work better together, which we do for many different types of computer systems: supercomputers, digital cameras, ... and now 3D printers. I had some experience with tool and die making using Bridgeport Series I CNCs as far back as the late 1970s, but my 3D printing adventure started in late 2012 with purchase of a MakerGear M2 for my lab to make custom camera parts in support of computational photography research. I now use multiple MakerGear M2 and Wanhao I3 3D printers, several semiconductor laser cutters, a 3040T CNC mill, a programmable paper cutter, and a small vacuum forming machine.
