I think it's going to just cause dark corners. I think it has to be at the center of the lens somewhere to work like a normal aperture stop.

I've got a magnifying glass "rear element" Lots of old lenses had a piece of glass and an iris. We'll see.

Not so much at the center of the lens but at the point of convergence of the rays (temporary brain freeze and I can't remember the right term), which, for a meniscus lens, will be somewhere out on front.

Nodal point, Dan. BetterSense, the nodal point of a positive meniscus with the concave side facing the subject is in front of the lens, pretty much where Jason put his (varies with focal length and precise curves of a meniscus). It does not darken corners and does much to flatten the field and reduce distortion.
