I am a retired camera repairman and I have repaired the Nikon SB800 flash units many times. Suggestion; buy a spare flash, bacause that flash unit you forced will jam at the worst time possible(middle of a wedding). Your disclaimer doesn't relieve you of the responsibility of giving a really bad suggestion to someone who will do the same thing as you and be unlucky and have a broken $400 flash unit. Then he is going to be out $100-$150 to repair the unit and be very mad at you for suggesting (you suggested it even with the disclaimer) this stupid idea.

Silly comment Jerry: the disclaimer DOES relieve him of any responsibility; moral or legal. What part of "This is what *I* do"; "you should NOT do this at home" don't you understand?

I recenlty bought an SB-800 which is missing the built in diffuser, how bad is this and what can I do?
