For those who have followed the thread here,
https://archived.moe/p/thread/3210596/ I finally got around to making a test aperture for the Dream lens. The aperture can be just about anywhere in/on the lens so I just slapped it on the outside like one of those bokeh filters. It is just paper. This gets rid of most of the dreamy haziness of the lens that was caused by Spherical Aberrations. If I can calculate f/8 and cut it out perfectly, it'd be even clearer looking than these photos. With extension tubes for macro, it looks even better of course. For normal shots there's still a good bit of aberration around the outside of the photos.
I think I'll make a few different aperture cut outs for this with a more durable material using a, "sheetmetal knockout punch kit" so the edges are near perfect.
