I searched through B&H and I can't find one. Either I'm not typing in the correct search words, or something. I went to the 430 speedlite page (external link)and I thought I'd see one listed under accessories or flash diffusers, but nope. :(

THIS (external link)is what I am looking for.


Any ideas?

Thanks,
Tom

Presumably the one which is already there is broken and looking at mine I can,t see how you would get it out, let alone fit a new one
What about the Canon service centre?

I thought about that. I hate to spend $75 (or what ever they will charge) for a $20 part.

There should be 2 screws on the bottom side of the main flash housing. Remove those. It should be enough to get the old diffuser out and the new one out. I've seen pics online of someone working on their flash online, but can't find them. Good luck w/ the replacement.

Nope, in fact this might be a chance to invest in a Gary Fong or other brand difusser.
