A drawback of the Samyang AF 35/2.8 is that a lens station is required to update the firmware.
I found the Samyang Lens Station.
The firmware of my Samyang AF 35/2.8 was version 04 out of the box.
Now, version 08 is available.
I successfully updated the firmware using the Lens Station.
One thing I was wondering. I bought the new lens in a sealed box, however, the AF correction (so called "AF Pint") was already set to -4 (instead of the expected 0). I decided not to change the settings since I had no complaints about AF accuracy.
Anyway, I don't want to buy any more lenses that require a lens station. I would prefer a lens that can be upgraded with a camera or a lens with a USB connection for firmware upgrades (like the Viltrox AF 20/2.8).
