[Leica] how do you organize the lenses in your camera bag?

The wider lenses cannot be mounted back to back on these, their elements 
stick out the back too far. No issue with 50mm or longer or a 50mm and a wide

You can buy a purpose-built back-to-back Leica lens cap device for about $8. 
Many of them have no septum/solid wall between them, however, so you always 
need to have two lenses attached so as to not get dust into the back of the 
one lens. I usually only carry 3 lenses so one is on the camera and two are 
stashed back-to-back so an open wall between the rear of the lenses is not a 
big problem. If going to a dusty place the type with a wall will be 
(obviously)  best.

I have glued two rear lens caps together but some glue tends to dry out over 
time. I once nearly dropped lenses when that old glue disintegrated. I am 
going to experiment with Gorila Glue on this next attempt (but for Fuji 
lenses, not Leica ones as I already have two manufactured ones for the Leica 
lenses.)
