You can get the standard black rear cap from most shops.

Thanks. Do you have any idea how much it cost?

A nikon original one was around $6+ last I recall a few years back.

If there's no urgency, you can order a cheaper generic brandless one from overseas sellers via sites like ebay, aliexpress, or shopee. It'll just take 2-3 weeks to arrive.

Example:
S$0.40 from here http://mall.shopee.sg/item/?sid=4149345&iid=16742974
US$0.78 from here http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Rear-Le...ns-AF-AF-S-AI-F-Mount-CAP-AIx-3-/282042018412

Thanks Kandinsky. Its great info!
$6 seems a reasonable amount to pay for. I was at Far East Shopping Centre earlier and was quoted $15 for a plastic transparent used cap.
Do you have any idea where I can purchase it in Singapore? (Not online)

You can purchase the original lens rear cap from Nikon service center or Cathay Photo. The ones sold outside by most shops are generic replacement caps.

$15?! Used somemore. That is an outright ripoff.

Ya, Light Machinery is right, just go get it from the Nikon Service Centre.

You can call ahead to make sure they have it in stock and confirm the price (technically should have, since it's a very basic part, but it doesn't hurt to call and confirm).

Hi guys. I went to Cathay at Marina Square to purchase it. Cost was $6. Also became a member there so that I can accumulate points for future purchases. Cheers!
