[QUOTE="Revet, post: 221744, member: 17612"] I am still having troubles here. Without the diffusion dome on, when I zoom my lens, the flash also zooms and moves back in the SB-700 housing. I believe this has the effect of concentrating the light in the center matching the zoom lens higher mm. But if shooting wide angle (like 18), the flash moves forward and gives you a wider array of light to match the wider view from your lens. Thus a lower zoom mm on the flash is more even lighting (wider) whereas a higher mm number would be more center weighted. When you put the diffusion dome on, the mm numbers appear to be backwards (center weighted is a lower number (8) than even lighting (11). I must be missing something here or need more coffee.
