I have "fixed" a filter ring and in the process ruined the smoothness of the focus mechanism. Lenses don't like being banged to one side like that. I ruined a pretty nice super takumar recently like that because of excess banging and I was using a tool specifically for the dent repair.

I don't know about the "best" way to remove the dent but you might like to take a look at this link - "Filter Ring Dent Removing Tool"

I haven't tried it I'm considering it for a couple of my dented lenses (unless, that is, someone comes up with a better idea......)

What is the best way to fix a light dent on a filter ring end of a lens?
I cannot put a filter on it to try to straighten it out, its bent slightly more than that, but I dont want to take a pair of pliers to it
either (protected).
Thanks in advance,
