It is still available new. I am not sure of the price but under $30US. BE
CAREFUL!!! Some wide angle lenses have significantly protruding elements and
the coupling ring is not very thick; so, if you try to couple two such
wides, you get two paper weights. A much better idea is to buy two normal
rear caps (Konica Hexar RF's are cheap) and glue them back to back. No fuss,
no muss and no danger.
