I'm not sure what guide numbers you're talking about go until 105mm. Maybe you're talking about the zoom setting of the flash? Wikipedia has a pretty good definition and a formula you can use. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guide_number 1Ds Mark II, 5D Mark III, Canon AE1, Yashica Electro 35, Mamiya RB67, Yashica 124, some lenses with red rings on them, and some flashey things

JeffreyG "my bits and pieces are all hard" More info | Sep 09, 2011 05:20 | #4 The guide number of the flash is 43mm with the flash zoom head set to it's longest setting (coverage for a 105mm lens). My personal stuff:http://www.flickr.com/photos/jngirbach/sets/
