Either Kaidomain or DX has them - they're about 27 mm. I had disappointing results with reflectors that had even light orange peel. You can also try surplus shed, where you might have a choice of focal lengths.

Let us know if you find something interesting.

My G2 and WF-502B both held this well. You need a smooth reflector for best effect.

If you search hard enough, the first E2D's came with domed lenses, and were said to throw a little further than the flat lanzed E2e at the time.

Sadly I lost my domed E2D bezzle on its Black Vital Gear Body last weekend :(
