Is the wide-angle reflector pushed back into the flash until it snaps in place? -Ryan

Subtlety is not part of everyones vocabulary. It's a genetic thing. The things you do for yourself die with you, the things you do for others live forever.

Glad you got it working. It is a common issue, even after reading the manual. -Ryan

Yes! I learned that on the first day, after I watched mine flash like a "costly lady of the evening". Realistically, I was a bit surprised at first also, coming from a 420EX. But after reading through the manual, I found the solution. Tom
