I've collected few landscape lenses or single meniscus soft focus lenses with missing apertures. Either broken, lost or part of the uncorking to turn a landscape lens in a pictorial portrait lens.
I've documented what I did with two of them on my blog. Sharing here so it can give inspiration to others tempting to do something similar.
There are many ways to skin a cat, this is just one of them.

Working on a few SF lenses, documenting these later.
Open to questions, suggestions and any other type of dialog.
