The reason: I own a good assortment of M lenses, among them three wide angles (15mm, 24mm and 35mm). It is frankly a nuisance that the M coupler cannot be used with two wide angles, while two rear caps work just fine. Incidentally, this problem does not exist with R lenses; the coupler has a central barrier and can be used with any two lens combination.
