good to know that IBIS does work with third party lenses, or at least with viltrox.

Nope, cannot confirm that. Also this is not what OrigamiCactus said. I quickly tried with the Viltrox 23 mm f/1.4 and it works. Question is to what extent.

This is exactly what i said lol.

there is no reason for ibis to not work with 3rd party lenses, so voightlander, tamron, viltrox, zeiss, tokina they all work fine. Because the ibis only needs to know the focal length to function perfectly. Viltrox 13mm, 23,56,85,35 all work with ibis as they should.

But it seems that the Samyang misreports the focal length or something, i can also make ibis not work, while it is turned on, by writing 0mm as the focal length.

But reviewers don’t mention this, so maybe he got a faulty lens.
