No matter what lens, what focal lenght I use, my 580EXII always says 14mm.
The F-stop is always correct, but the 14mm never changes?
Does it on both camera's also.
Is that normal?

Aug 25, 2008 14:26 | #3 Oh yeah, should have mentioned that. That's with it all the way in the foward position. The flash gives you that little icon on the display to signify it's locked. 40D \ 350D \ 17-55 2.8 \ 70-300 IS \ 60mm 2.8 macro \ 28-135 IS \ Tamron 28-75 2.8 \ 580 EXII
