well the tool arrived early . and I have had a play tonight . its taken out the dent in the filter rim nicely and the lens cap at least fits . I have yet to try a filter on it though .. completely knackered at the daughter took us out today for a drive which has left me a bit tired the main benefit though is it seems to have moved the lens barrel back into alignment so the a/f is performing better or as should . here's a quick practise shot from the garden tonight ... will play some more tomorrow when I'm fresher but it looks a good buy for £23 delivered

Please can you post a picture of the tool Jeff. Also if you have a url for supplier then others can use in future if necessary.

as requested , feel a bit better this morning just tried a 62mm filter on it as well screwed on fully and taken on and off about six times .. the tool is available on amazon for £23 delivered or e.bay for £39.99 you have seen the photo above of how severely damaged it was , so I think this was a worthwhile investment ... on this particular lens I found that by doing the repair fully closed helped the lower segment to ease back into position a fair bit as well

That filter looks cross threaded to me!

Seems like the tool has made a good job on the filter ring, Jeff. Have you managed to do the lens barrel as well? It looks good from the photo. Well done. As Chris says, the filter looks like it is at an angle (?cross threaded?). Does it square up when fully screwed in?

yes it does screw right in , I was in a hurry to take a photo for here and didn't notice it wasn't threaded correctly , have since put it on and off half a dozen times with no problems , the tools itself has threads built into it so it cuts new threads in use like a tap and die set . I won't be using any filters on this lens so its a mute point anyway . as for the lens barrel thats out of reach but I did the filter thread with the lens locked down tight and it has eased up the barrel and its now zooming fully out and in on the camera under power so mission accomplished . it's now just me that needs to regain some steadiness

Looks like you have been the surgeon that has restored the 60mm to health. Well done. Now you need to look after yourself now. No over-exertion!

I read some reviews on the tool one of which said it was rubbish, clearly that was wrong because it seems to have worked perfectly for you. And at a fraction of what Nikon would charge.
