Hello, I am sure that many in this forum have experienced an accidential mishap whereby your precious lens slipped and fell only to to damage to the front element flange. I did not drop my lens but had received it in this "damaged" condition from shipment just recently. Contributing factors were rough handling by DHL/ USPS and inadequate protection in packageing. The damage will now prevent a filter to be screwed onto the flange to go in front of the front lens element. Has anyone of you attempted to "un-bend" a dented-in flange successfully and do so without damage to the filter threads or the front lens element? Is there a professional source out there that can "fix" the problem? Any suggestions would be most greatly appreciated. Thanks.
