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

[Nathan Wajsman]

I have used this method for years, i.e. gluing two rear caps together, with different brands. The standard operating procedure is to buy cheap rear caps on ebay, file them down as necessary with the Dremel tool, and fuse them together properly with 2-part Epoxy, not just glue. This is bulletproof and works great. Currently my Fuji X and Leica M lenses are carried this way.

Cheers,
Nathan

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 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.)
