There's a camera repair supply shop out of Vacaville,
California, I think, that sells an inexpensive device
for pounding out dented filer threads. There is a
wood block with semi-circles of various diameters to
set the lens or hood on, and a stick with a rounded
end to set against the threads to pound (gently) on to
shape it. I used it on my Noctilux :-( .
