There's no easy answer to that one. If they just fall on the floor, a strong light is the best aid to finding them. The "flyaways" rarely turn up until you are doing a major room shift. Over time I have developed a habit of trying to place a spare digit over part of the spring. A gun enthusiast told me he used to work with a white sheet over his head. I don't think it was a leg pull because it sounds feasable. A sheet in front of your work angled inwards would work, or one of those white boxes made for photgraphing small objects would also work. Have a look in the flash accessories section of eBay. I have also been known to sort through the vacuum cleaner bag, unpleasant but I did find the spring. Good luck Greg |
