Hi James,

Bern should do them. They are called the ' DSI, Atik, Sac, M42 lens adapter' and cost £39.

I thought he was cheaper than that though. In which case there was an advert in Sky at Night magazine advertising them for £34.

To use it you'll need the T-adapter for the SC1, which Rob has. But Perseu sell one - £16 delivered.

I've got a weebcam to OM lense adapter, I got it from http://www.webcaddy.com.au/ it's a little "home made" but it does work - basically they are made to order and sit the chip of the toucam at exactly thre right distance from the lens - so that when you turn the lens to infinity your in focus on the chip.

Shame that my SC1 is buggered or I'd use it more. Maybe have to put that up for sale as well...
