The problem with the Leica lens coupler (at least the M version) is that it is just a ring, it's not solid in the middle. If you remove one lens, the other isn't protected. It also will not work with certain wide angle lenses coupled to each other - the protrude too far in the rear. If you glue to rear lens caps together, the result will work with all lenses and protect the rear element when just one lens is connected.
