Thought I'd ask here because there is so many other 5D3 threads, but when I have my 85L mounted with my new 580ex2, the flash reports the zoom as 80mm. Am I missing a setting here? Why isnt the flash showing 85mm?
Greg,
First, the beam coverage on the flash unit is not 100% precise. The zoom range, if you do it manually, goes from 70mm to 80 to 105mm. If your lens is 85mm and you get the flash to show 80mm, meaning the flash is actually covering more than your lens. So, it should be fine that way since the angle of view from your 85mm is actually narrower than the beam coverage of the flash at 80mm. Hope this helps.
Of course, this doesn't have anything to do with the recall...., correction, the stock delayed .
