As mentioned before, I have only two electronic (AF) lenses with Sony FE/E mount: the Samyang AF 35/2.8 and the Viltrox AF 20/2.8.
It is not possible to update their firmware directly with a Sony camera.
To update the Samyang firmware, you need a docking station (or find someone who has one). So I am still using the outdated v.04 firmware (while v.08 is available).
Meanwhile, the Viltrox AF 20/2.8 has the USB-C port on the mount flange.
And the firmware can be updated by copying the file to a virtual disk. A nice solution.
The lens information on my Sony a7c shows version 01:
The real version information from the virtual DeviceInformation.txt file:
My lens already has the current firmware version V1.1.2 installed.
