I often carry my 90 Summicron and 21 SA back to back. I took the easy way
out. I use an M lens coupler. There is plenty of room in the back of the 90
for the SA's protruding elements.

>protruding elements of the SA. Then, I glued a Nikon lens cap on top of it.
>Then I glued another M lens cap back to back on the Nikon cap. Some

>the 21/90 so that the the desired lens gets on top. Then switch lenses
>without fiddling with loose lens caps.
>The Alice takes 2 M6:s with attached 35 and 50 mm Summicrons, plus the 21-90
