Thanks for the information! However this sounds like a "Don't try
this at home" job...
I had exact the same problem (dropped the OM1 with the 135/2.8) resulting 
in a dented hood. BUT, I Certainly would NOT open the lens by any means. So 
instead of tinkling with it  I just acceppted the different looks and 
considered it as heavy wear of a rugged camera outfit. I woulnt even 
exchange this lens just because of a dented hood.
