Subject: Re: Storing M lenses back-to-back

One thing I used to do back when I used Nikon was to super glue two rear
lens caps together.  This allowed you to store two lenses back to back and
take up less space in the bag, really convient for shorter lenses.  In
addation to taking up less space it would keep the lenses from banging into
each other in the bag.  I would imagine that a couple of extra rear caps
would be cheaper than the retaining ring also it allows the elements to be
protected when one lens is in use.
