Hello,
keep posting inventions! Pentax lenses do have filter threads as well,
so it's not OT!
Better still: put your post as html next to the picture, so non-PDML'ers
can enjoy the invention via google!
Myself, I've recently assembled some of the notes I made during the last
few years on a small website. Still 'draft' (will probably remain draft
forever and a serious risk to become outdated...) and a mixture of dutch
and english, but useful for myself to 'drive' further activities and
maybe for someone else sometime as well)

Groeten,

Hi All;
I've been playing camera repairman again for the past several weeks
and have gotten very tired of straightening bent filter rings via the
"tap tap" method.
Not wanting to shell out $100.00+ for a good ring tool, or $40.00 for
a crappy Chinese one, I came up with this:

A $14.99 benchtop vise from the local home center and some
screws and scrap wood.
A few minutes work and I can make any size "jaws" I need.
The rather lovely Hi-Matic 7s in the picture was badly bent, a
few minutes later, as you can see, filters mount again!
Thought someone might get some use out of this.
(It's pretty handy as a bench vise too!) ;-)
