Mark (and other SB-15 owners), For a usable diffuser for the SB-15 speedlight, try this: Use a film canister from a roll of Fujicolor Superia 400 (or any other 35mm film canister that is milky white. Throw away the cap and slice off the base of the canister. Then slice the canister vertically twice, removing a section that is about 1/4 inch wide. What's left will slip nicely over the face of the flash head, and stay in place due to the ribbed surface of the area near the flash head on the SB-15, and the spring action of the modified canister (it helps to tilt the flash head one click). It works pretty well, and if you should lose it, inexpensive to replace. Another option that I use with my SB-15, and also my SB-22 with a similar tilting head, is to insert a white business card in the crack that is formed when I tilt the head. A standard business card fits perfectly into either speedlight, stays firmly in place, and makes a nice little bounce card.
