warning, camera nerd rant ahead:

I had not realized the shutter speed has to be the same as the flash or you get partial exposures. Normally in daylight I'd set it to 1/2000-1/4000 if I still want that nice depth of field because I'm too cheap (and all my lenses are too weird) for ND filters. so, I stopped the aperture way down to like f/22 for a shutter speed of 1/125 which in turn gives you super deep depth of field and a weird unnatural look. Add the artificial light from the flash and your brain goes there's something wrong.

plus, this particular lens has some weird quirks (like the tunnel vision vignetting) and some distortion since it's not intended to be a photography lens.
