A method for manufacture of a tip part for an endoscope, said method comprising the steps of:- providing a camera assembly with an image sensor, a lens barrel positioned at a distal end of the camera assembly, and a circuit board positioned at a proximal end of the camera assembly,- providing an exterior housing comprising a circumferential wall enclosing a spacing, the exterior housing further comprising a distal end wall, the distal end wall being integral with the circumferential wall and having an opening,- inserting the lens barrel of the camera assembly in the spacing of the exterior housing so that a distal end of the lens barrel extends into the opening, and so that an axially extending adhesive spacing is provided between the opening and the lens barrel along a circumference of the lens barrel, a radial extent of the adhesive spacing gradually being reduced in a direction towards the spacing of the exterior housing- injecting an adhesive into the adhesive spacing,- allowing or causing the adhesive to harden so as to adhere the lens barrel to the distal end wall of the exterior housing.
