The 14500 then I will do as an own project when I ever should find time to do so. So its not that important right now.
Yesterday I took a flat headed screwdriver to fix the lens. I accidentally screwed it in too far (there was not a lot of force needed), with the result that I could not focus it anymore to infinity. I then decided to screw it out all the way to inspect it. I then found that there was not a single lens loose, but the lens-system (or how to call this optical package?) was loose due to some tolerances in the threading. Then on the side of the waterproof flat glass I found some of the white stuff (its kind of soft glue, its purpose is to hold the lens system in the factory adjusted focus place; at least I think so ). Apparently it was a bit too less of this stuff, so the optics loosened itself.
Now I just screwed it in to the right position hoping it will be ok. Otherwise I will use some glue myself later on. I am quite satisfyed with the result now, because its OK, and because if its not OK I can fix it anyways easily....
Thanks.
