Re: A hypothesis on IBIS w/ third party lenses

I demonstrated the issues with IBIS, startup time and image transfer queue, to the local Samyang distributor here. I tried a different lens, with the same issues. The local distributor has acknowledged the issues and given feedback to Samyang HQ so hopefully, a firmware fix is on the way.

In the meantime, I will be returning the lens, thanks to the distributor who offered a refund.

Honestly, the lens produces some lovely images - it's sharp from f2 and the rendering is lovely. The lens itself is lightweight and weather-sealed so it's just so easy to use for street photography.

It's a pity that it's just not ready for proper use.
