I guess I have to contact Fuji support. I hope they care for a bug like this, even though it's linked to a third party lens.

You should report the bug to Samyang as well. Maybe their lens is sending data which interferes with the IBIS.

I did just that, back in January.

Here's Samyang's reply:

Dear Customer

Hello.

Thank you for your inquiry mail.

We are going to check about your issue and if there is problem, We will solve this problem through the firmware update.

But, It needs time for confiming the issue and improvement the software.

Therefore, We will notify through the our web-page when we complete the develop new firmware soon.

If you need any other things, Please let us know.

Thank you very much!

Best Regards

There have been two Samyang firmware updates in March 2022 (Samyang Support), but only for Sony E lenses. Right now they don't even have a support category for Fuji mount lenses.

So I guess they either haven't figured out the problem, or Fuji is too much of a niche market and this bug is considered "negligible", so they don't feel any urge.

I still hope they get this done soon. I really like the Samyang 12mm MF and would love to upgrade to a fully working AF version.
