Yup, Very poor results here too.

Last night I tried using the webcam with some of the various glasses 
(Optics, loupes etc.) I have here.  About the best, clearest, and 
biggest image I can get is using the camera directly.  I can position 
the camera about 3 inches away from the object, then focus the camera 
to show a sharp image.  

Any efforts using additional optics resulted in no improvements 
whatsoever.  Perhaps when I get some money I will take apart the 
webcam and try again without using it's standard lense but suspect 
that will be a nightmare as well without have a good variety of optics 
to test and tinker with.
