Yep, the webcams only bad point, damn plastic thread on the body! I think maybe wire brushing the aluminium thread on the adapter may take off the sharp edges. Ordinarily, if you wanted a nice smooth thread, it would be 'lapped in' Can't do this aluminium against plastic though. My thread is nearly kapoot also from screwing the adapter in & out, changing from the lens to the adapter so I can use it as a webcam or astro stuff.

My alternative was to stop using it as a webcam. I'm not going to take the adapter out again under any circumstances..
