Overview
The flash head has manual zoom settings for "wide" (35mm focal length on a 35mm camera), "normal" (50mm) and "tele" (105mm), as well as a slide-in diffuser lens for "super wide" (28mm).
Yes, I said manual -- no zoom head motor to break or suck battery juice -- just grab the head and slide it back and forth using the click-stop detents at the three settings. There's a little wobble as it slides, but the movement is smooth enough and the stops firm. But the slot at the front of the flash it slides into holds it well and can also be used to insert cut-gel filters easily and safely.
