I hope you don't mean a 50mm f/1.2.  The filter ring is integral with the
housing for the front lens group.  And you _don't_ want to know the price of
that puppy!

If you mean a 55mm f/1.2, the news isn't much better.  The filter ring is a
separate part, but no longer available.

I'd just straighten it.  We use narrow hardwood sticks, about 1" x 1/2",
rounded at the end, placed against the inside of a bent filter ring and
whacked gently but firmly with a mallet.  Work slowly, be patient, and you
can get it back so a filter will go on again.
