Look over on the "Accessories" forum, there are a lot of threads on this. I went with this one:

although I bought it through Amazon. Very pleased with it so far. I just cannot justify the wait and the cost of the WD-H43, and this one seems to suit my needs just fine. See also here:

I bought this after seeing the video test footage that he shot, although mine is not the "Titanium" model. I'm not sure that there is a difference in the optics.
