Been out with the 580 and my better beamer to day, first try, got some really great images with it, but needed to look a few things up on the web, found this which may be of interest to anyone using one:

Which way does the fresnel lens actually go in? Shiny side (non fresnel) out or shiny side towards the flash/camera?
