Hello Warren,
I haven't tried any of these myself, but here are the various suppliers of
fresnel lens flash extenders:
Better Beamer
Arthur Morris/Birds as Art

Project-a-flash
Tory Lepp Productions

FX-1 Flash Extender
Kirk Enterprises

Project-a-flash and Flash Extender
Leonard Rue Enterprises

I'm not sure if they will work on the F280, though. It seems they are
designed for flashes with larger heads.
However, if you have any luck with these and the f280, let us know. I am
also contemplating a purchasing one of the long Tamrons for wildlife and
would be interested if the arrangement works out.
Best,
Greg Logiodice
