Anyone with this lens, or other Viltrox LAB lenses, know if there's a way to change the display to show feet instead of meters??

(I checked their iOS app and it doesn't seem to have such setting.)

Update...I got a response from the company saying it's not possible to change this. Disappointing.

You needed to buy the 5.31-inch lens to get that feature.

Ahh! That was my mistake!

PS
Doesn't matter anyway; I sent the lens back. I just could not get used to how gigantic and heavy it is. I came from using the Sony 135mm GM, which I thought was pretty big. But it's petite compared to the Viltrox.

Bonus points to Zeiss. There is a secret method to switch Batis lens displays from meters to feet by repeatedly turning the focus ring. Since it is all software based, perhaps Viltrox will add that through firmware in the future.

Yes, I loved that about the Batis lenses.
