“I wanted to use my old Nikon D40 kit camera’s lens with my new Sony NEX-5R so I could have totally mechanical focus, zoom, and aperture control. After a few iterations, this is what I’ve come up with as an adapter. No clean up or supports required! Print it in PLA and plug the bits together. To attach the Nikon lens, line up the little white dot on the lense with the L shaped indent on this adaptor ring, then screw it in anticlockwise.”
