After reading all available inputs on the matter I "invented" my very own method. The first step I usually take is similar to what is described in Henry Taber's "Filter Ring Dent Removing Tool" in this forum's article section. I followed his advice, with minor changes. Instead of a wooden tool I use the stem of a plastic toothbrush like a chisel when I hammer out the dents, as this material is hard enough to transmit the punch and soft enough not to scratch aluminium surfaces. The most important thing when undenting is that you work carefully and slowly, step by step. A repair like the one you describe, seanmckinney, cannot be done in a minute. The first lens I undented had dents facing off-center because I had used too much force and first and foremost because I thought I could do everything in a hurry. |
