Thanks for your reply, Diverdank!

Unfortunately it isn't speculations, I have tested the output of just the canon 580 from 1/8th power up to 1/1 power and have found the EXACT same exposure rating on the histogram of the photo. I am returning it to Adorama on grounds of the product being faulty.

Thanks everyone for your ideas!

That's OK, Nates69...I was just wondering but I figured from your picture that it was most likely something wrong.  With a flash meter, I can ascertain my wondering, that's all. Good luck.
