You should NEVER be closing the native lens aperture when doing these anaglyphs!If your aperture holes are way too far apart, they don't act as apertures at all, but as vignetting elements on the native lens aperture. That's what stopping down the host lens does. Follow the rays....

Again, it's a matter of correctly sizing the anaglyph aperture WRT vignetting....

Incidentally, for non-macro stereo capture, I've often done things with pairs of cameras, especially CHDK-supported Canon PowerShots. That makes it easy to exactly match the typical human baseline... as I did in:

Now I understand what you meant regarding "vignetting". I am not a native English speaker, so I have to follow some of the purely technical details more closely.

I chose to make the diameter of the holes 5mm in the first place to get more depth in the image. The result is quite good in terms of depth of field.

Your 3D-printed stereo rig is very well made. Congratulations!

Right now I'm more interested in making an optical device that mounts the two vertically rotated 3D images on the sensor halves, in Top/Bottom format instead of SBS.
This allows more advantageous storage of "landscape" formats, like the device made a long time ago by Lawrence Heyda Studios .
Do you have an idea about this system?
