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

[Wilbur Norman]

Yes, that lens sticking out the back thing is a hassle. One of my 90mm lenses is an old Elmar f4 collapsible so it will work on the back-to-back piece but does not fully collapse. (Altho it does not fiuly collapse when using a thin rear cap cover either!)

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.)
