Godders, I've done that for years, and it works great. I can carry two lenses in the space for one. Some different techniques and epoxies have been tried, and although none of the caps have separated, the later attempts both look nicer and might even be a little stronger. If you'd like some tips or ideas, just let me know. My first attempt was sent to Bob Walkden several years ago, and AFAIK, he's still using the back-to-back caps I made for his Leica glass.
