This is still my favorite lens. Probably about 90% of the pictures I take these days are with the 21 SA and a 35 (formerly a Voigtlander Nokton 1.2 now a pre-ASPH Summilux) and of that 90% the split is probably 60/40 in favor of the Super Angulon. The remaining 10% is mostly either a rigid Summicron or a Dual Range Summicron depending on how close I am (I so wish you could just use the DR throughout its range on a digital M -- if they ever introduce one where that problem is fixed I will start selling spare gear, blood, kidneys, whatever it takes to buy one). The other lenses mostly sit idle. The Super Angulon from yesteday:

In Juneau there is a Super Angulon in hands who know how to do it best.
Well done.

Your technique, with flash add, is the same technique of Ralph Gibson. The only difference is that he works with 28mm, but the process is that.
Well done.

The technique is a bit tricky because you want to blend the flash with the ambient light. Here is what works for me:

I set the flash to "auto" mode at f/8. Then I read from the exposure meter the corresponding exposure time at f/8 (in that case 1/4 sec). Next, I set the camera to 1/4 sec but the f/stop to 11 instead of 8. That means that I am underexposing both the flash and the ambient light by 1 stop, but the sum of both makes a great exposure.

Ralph Gibson technique's. He works with 28mm and by day lights + flash that he hold to left hand orienting it and pointing it, depending on the need; of the subject and distance from the subject, moving it independently of the position of the camera. He produce very nice special effect, about enough different from your job. Otherwise your pictures showing more imaginative & surreal mood; so you can say, no question about it, that it's your personal feel/taste different from hundred and hundred of pictures. I like your job. My only humble advice: more care with composition; background & foreground; more close with subject.
Ad maiora, semper.
Cheers
