A few nights ago, Nicole sent me a link to this gadget, which basically
works as a socket rail for lenses:

Unfortunately, they don't support Pentax lenses. But that did give me
an idea for carrying my lenses. I've been using one of these Matin bags
in the top of my camera bag to carry several of my primes:

I made a quick and dirty prototype using some of the less than wonderful
cheap back caps (they say PK on them)

Which allows me to carry the lenses in my bag like so:

If it seems promising, I'll pick up some of the fotodiox lens caps and
make a better unit, probably bolting the lens caps down to whatever I
use for a base rather than just glueing them down.
If I had a 3-d printer, it would be tempting to make a rail with the
mounts for the three lenses based on this design:
