   • PROBLEM FIXED:
     
     DISCLAIMER: This is what worked for me. If you try it, and it doesn't work, or you break it, don't blame me.
     
     Ok, after I returned these 2 cams, and tried a 3rd (from a different retailer) it became evident (at least to me) that Logitech is having issues with its webcam Q/A testing.
     
     The fix is to adjust the focus ring by turning it clock-wise a degree or two. To accomplish this:
     
     1. Open up the cam by removing the 2 screws at the back of the housing and gently pulling apart.
     
     2. Remove the black cover surrounding the lens using a small screw driver to pry the 4 clips apart from the back. (the cover has the carl zeiss & 2.0 mega pixel lettering) CAUTION: be VERY CAREFUL removing this cover, the clips that hold it in place are flimsy and could break easily!
     
     3. Turn the focus ring clock-wise a "degree" or two.
     
     4. Test the adjustment before putting it all back together by restarting the Quickcam program and viewing the live video image. The image should be sharp and focused.
     
     5. If further adjustment is needed, gently turn the focus ring until you get the desired crisp, clear image.
     
     6. Replace the black lens cover, and close both halves of the housing. Replace the 2 screws.
