I just returned from an assignment in which a part of my 430EX II completely VANISHED without me touching it or hitting something with the Speedlite. What I lost is circled in red:  Is there a webpage where I can buy this spare part? PS: this sucks! On my last assignment I lost the eyecup... U$D 15 almost! I am keeping it in the box until I sell the camera, it is expensive and useless! Gripped 7D - 3 Ls - 3 non-Ls - 580EX II - Too much Think Tank gear - Cotton Carrier Holster

I will tape it, of course... as well as I won't use my eyecup anymore! I just want to buy it because I may sell the flash for either a 580EX II or a Nikon SB-800/900 (probably switching!).

I like the 580 II because things don't come off, they stay attached. Professional wedding photographer, solution architect and general technical guy with multiple Amazon Web Services certifications.

You'll need a spec sheet for the flash to work it out. I know... I need to get that sheet! merlin2375 wrote in post #9045537 Third party... http://www.meritline.com …lash-stand---p-39226.aspx But that's the flash stand!
