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

[Sonny Carter]

I think if I were home-building a rig to hold two lenses worth several
thousand dollars each together, I'd invest in drilling a hole between the
two caps and poking a fifty cent stainless steel bolt through the hole, and
secure it with a twenty cent stainless steel lock washer and a thity cent
stainless steel lock nut.

Just my two  cents worth of advice.
