Wanted, Lens Hood 62mm for Sigma

I got an additional lens for my Nikon D40x. It’s a Sigma AF 30mm f/1.4 EX HSM DC. This lens performance is great specially in low light.

But I’ve made a terrible mistake with this lense.
I dropped the lense hood and my friend accidentally step on it.
AAA AAARRRRRGGHHHHHHHHH
It’s broken into 3 pieces and still haven’t found the replacement till now 🙁

It’s Sigma Lense Hood LH715-01 (Petal hood).

Sigma LH715-01

Already ask friends in Japan and Hong Kong to look for the replacement. Hope they’ll find one.
Anyone has that hood or another type which might compatible with Sigma lens ring 62mm ?

note:
Gundam photos below was taken using this lens 🙂 Most of my pictures during traveling in Bangkok were also taken using this 30mm lens :p
