zeitlos Offline Upload & Sell: Off

Wow...
First: if you want to update the firmware, you need the dock (which isn’t expensive). The updating process is easy.
Second: of course you can perfectly use most/(all now?) of the Samyang lenses without a firmware update and achieve great results. I used a lot of them and the vast majority worked perfectly straight out of the box. Basically, of all my Samyang lenses only the 45 1.8 had major issues that really needed fixing. But the update was there only a short time after it went on sale. Of course you can expect that it works perfectly right from the beginning. But well, sxxxx happens (with many brands).
So don’t panic. I cannot think of a Samyang lens spontaniously that – if bought today out of latest production – would demand a firmware update. However, as I said, they keep on pushing very aggressively to make their products better (which doesn’t mean that they were bad before), so if there’s a firmware update that improves something, it’s welcome.
