Well, just for the hell of it, I just picked a ketchup bottle out of the
recycle bin.  You will recognize the brand - there were 57 possibilities!
The mily polythene is a very good match for the real thing.

F 280 has a couple of slots either side of the head, and it was about ten
minutes work with a pair of scissors to cut a diffuser to fit those slots,
or pushed back to fit the panel joint.  In the forward position, I reckon it
would cover a fisheye!

So feel free to make me an offer for my LNIB F280 diffuser - or the above
mentioned hand made model.  The next ketchup bottle might take a little
longer.

Geez.  I should have sold mine for a lot more, huh?

After all, it's only a curved plastic diffuser that snaps into the slots on
the side of the F280's flash head, I'd bet you could make one yourself out
of suitably thin, frosted model plastic.  Or use some self-stick velcro and
some sort of paper.
