I don't know how JCO uses his lenses if he's wearing out the focusing rings. I have a lens or two still from my Nikon days that I bought used in 1981. They were used to make many thousands of pictures for twenty years in my hands. The rubberized focusing rings still look like they're brand new.
So we can add to the Whack-A-Mole's ineptness the fact that he abuses these obsolete lenses. "You only hurt the ones you love ..." and all that, I guess.
