Message: <blockquote data-quote="Revet" data-source="post: 221616" data-attributes="member: 17612">I am confused about the zoom read-out on my SB 700.  When I am using it on my camera, the zoom read out matches the zoom read out I set on my camera.  Thus if I use a larger mm setting, the zoom moves back in the flash as it should to focus the light to match what the camera is doing.Here is where I am confused.  When I put the diffusion dome on the only zoom settings I have (in DX format) are 8, 10 and 11 depending on which illumination pattern I use.  What I don't get is if I have it center weighted (illumination pattern), the zoom is on 8 mm.  Then when I put it in even lighting position, the zoom goes to 11 mm.  I would think it would be opposite (lower mm, wider angle and higher mm, zoom).   Can some one help un-befuddle my brain on this.</blockquote>
