I use them off camera with Yonguo 602's and while they are in slave mode & in Manuel. I can zoom the head from 35mm to 105mm. I can also get it to go to 16mm by pulling out the wide angle diffuser, but when I push it back in, it goes back to 35mm............I am sure I am missing something very obvious and simple, and POTN should be able to solve this issue for me, thanks to all in advance, I appreciate it !!!!

When you pull the wide panel out, the zoom should indicate 14mm, not 16mm. And if you are zooming manually, it should go from 24mm to 105mm. I've never heard of what you're experiencing. ...Leo

Not sure if it will make a difference but it might be worth checking. Yes you are right, it does say 14mm, not 16mm when the wide angle diffuser is pulled out, I typed incorrectly.

I thought maybe the position of your flash head might be a reason, but I tried different position and is I can get it to MZoom 24mm. I'll keep playing with it to see if I can duplicate the problem. _______________
