That can be fixed quite easily ifthe bend isn't too bad. DO NOT, I SAY DO NOT use pliers to try and straighten it out, you'll just make it worse. Take a wooden dowl abouta 1/2 inch diameter, place the lens on a solid surface and carefully and gently place the dowl against the bend and tap it lightly, a little at a time until you can get a 55mm filter on it. I've salvaged many a camera lens that way.
