Minolta/Sony A-mount to E-mount lens adapter

thingiverse

A lens adapter to adapt Minolta/Sony A mount lenses to a Sony E-mount camera. Built with simplicity, accuracy and reliability in mind. This is marked as a WIP due to the special instructions and supports it needs. Otherwise this will probably be the final version as it woks very well. This adapter features: -A mechanical lens lock (To replicate the function of a camera body lens lock) -Fixed aperture blade to hold the aperture wide open. -Easy, fast and cheap replaceable parts for the locking mechanism. -Textured surface to give the user some grip (Also looks cool) -Visual alignment nubs just like on a normal lens or camera. -Flange Focal Length of 26.3mm (Calculated to be 26.5mm but I want to ensure infinity focus) I have only tested this on Minolta A-mount lenses and do not personally know if Sony A-mount is any different. The fixed blade is made to slide the lens's aperture blade open as the aperture is spring loaded to be closed. The mechanical lock is composed of only two parts, which are both very small and easily replaceable if broken.
