Oops! SB800 Bounce Test

Can't believe I dropped my flash!!! I broke the red lens off of the AF assist on the front of my SB800 flash. Is this something I can replace? If so, where would I find a new lens?

I'm afraid it shattered when it hit. Good thought though.

I wish you would have broke it two weeks ago. Mine stopped working and I sent it to Nikon for a fix. They sent it back unfixable for the cost it would be, and I tossed it 2 weeks ago.:( Got a 900. Isn't that the way though.:(

Try either Bocaphoto or eBay. I've seen what you need but can't remember which of the two sites I saw it on.

$12.88 seems a steal to me. Otherwise I would have suggested car rear light repair scotch panels here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Car-Lens-Repair-Kit-Front-Rear-Lights-RED-/300585548159?pt=UK_Car_Accessories_Car_Care_Cleaning&hash=item45fc4b797f

But the genuine part in the other link seems as cheap as my idea. I can get this identical brand car lens repair stuff for £1 and they are selling it for £11.75 that is one hell of a markup.

Funny, I also thought about something similar to the lens repair you posted.
