at my local brick and mortar store Wolfe's Camera
Wolfe's Camera Shop | Topeka KS
the experienced sales man fooled with the tool and fixed my similar problem with my DA 16-85mm
[ broken thread, small portion missing and remaining thread misaligned. after using tool, I can mount a filter on the lens ]
for free
that's customer service
[ I don't buy a lot of gear from them but I do get 24 x 35 in stretched canvas prints for the wife's office so I am considered a good customer ]
