It's a unique lens to be sure!!! ;-) A bent filter ring is solved by one of 3 ways; a) Get a pair of pliers to it, you'll probably need two pairs even... b) Buy a copy of Shutterbug and send of some money to the advertiser that sells filter ring straightening tools. Then follow instructions. c) Pay a professional to straighten it for you. (He has the tools already...) best wishes, Jem - -----Original Message----- From: William Boyle [SMTP:wmboyle@iwinet.com] Re questions about the filter mount ring - first, I screwed up and called the lens a 50/3.5 Summaron in the subject line, though I correctly identified it as a 3.5cm f3.5 Summaron in the body of the message. It has a bent filter mount ring, otherwise ok - Sorry about my tendency to type afster than I should, and to disengage my fingers from my mind. Bill
