First of all I would go to the Photozone website which shows tests on the lens.

If you look at the MTF test you will find the "sweet spot" for lens performance is more or less at f/5.6 over the entire FL range for the 8300 chip.

Hence the the diameter of your aperture mask is simply the focal length divided by 5.6
