Ángel,
Let me guess, previously you were using normal or wide-angle primes,
then you switched to the zoom.
Whether you get red-eye depends on the ratio of the distances involved:
distance from lens to eye
---------------------------------------
distance from lens to flash
The higher this ratio, the less opportunity for red-eye.
Also, the darker the situation, the more open your subjects' eyes will
be, leading to more red-eye
So you can avoid red-eye by:
- moving closer
- moving the flash further away from the lens ( The T-45 does a good
job of this.)
- improving the overall lighting, or pre-flash to get the eye's iris
to contract
- using bounce flash (moves the effective light source FAR away from
the lens)
Alternatively, maybe your red-eye was really blood vessels in the white
of the eye because your subjects were drinking too much alcohol!
