Every user of one or more of the mentioned lenses is advised to install the respective firmware. The updates are free of charge, but a so-called Samyang Lens Station is required to install the software on the lenses. It is screwed onto the lens like an adapter and then connected to a computer via USB. There is a separate Lens Station for each mount, costing about 80 euros. If you don't have your own Lens Station, you should ask your dealer.
