Rokinon Auto Focus Lens Station for Sony E Lenses (IOLS-E)

Works with my Samyang lens and costs a lot less than the Samyang branded one. So I am very pleased.

This is well made and does it's job perfectly. The software has no issues and must have been updated from those using previous versions that was complained about. Now my Rokinon 35mm/1.8 autofocuses on my A7C II. I also updated another Rokinon and Samyang lens to versions that were two or three versions newer.

While it's disappointing that their lenses do not have a USB C port to directly do firmware updates, I will say this doc worked great with their software. Pros: Seen immediately by the downloaded software after plugging in. Recognized the lens in software and offered to update. Cons: Micro USB Needs the included (but very robust) USB Micro cable. This updated my lens and it now works great with the 2024 Sony ZV-E1. The process is easier than some competing lens USB C port an download of the lens firmware. Decent tradeoff for the price and additional device. I may need to get another lens or two from these manufacturers (Samyang too) to make it worthwhile.

The product is working with both Rokinon and Samyang lenses. The quality as described in the product description.

In my 30 year career as a well-known pro, until recently I had never desired to use a non-Nikon, Canon or Sony lens. New lens designs by third party manufacturers are beginning to equal and occasionally surpass the famous names. One true Samyang / Rokinon advantage is the wonderful ability to convert the ring on the lens to change the f-stop. I love how my Sony GM lenses have a dedicated f-stop ring—changing the aperture on the lens is my most natural way to shoot. A Sony can’t do this unless you spend nearly $1,000 more for the triple the weight yet excellent Sony 35mm f1.4 GM. To allow the Rokinon to adjust aperture at the lens, simply pick up this easy to use Rokinon Lens Station. As you know, it keeps up with firmware updates, too. Plug it into your computer via the included USB software, download the software and you are ready to customize to your personal shooting style. Worth it and returnable if you realize it’s not for you.

This is only good for one thing -- updating the firmware on your Rokinon/Samyang AF lens. Once you've done that, it's a doorstop. Look for a used one, or better yet, buy your lenses from another manufacturer. What other lens maker forces you to buy a USB puck just to update their lens firmware?

Worked as needed to update the firmware on my lens so I stopped having issues with the Sony a7iv autofocus. Expensive and annoyed it didn't come with my lens. You can also adjust the autofocus settings of each individual lens using this so it does have some functionality

Works as advertised for both Rokinon and Samyang

Fits Rokinon and Samyang Lenses. It was a surprise seeing as its the same station for samyang, but at half the price. Very good value for money.

My experience is with the Sony version, English, Windows, especially for the 85mm\1.4 Af V2 The hardware seems fine. The software is not ready. This allows you to brick* your 85mm V2. I think it installs the firmware for the V1. Nobody tested this. * If this happens you can find the firmware (beta at this point) for your lens and make the lens station install it, even if it cant 'see' your bricked lens. Everything needs to be expressly presented to the end user. Quality control is lacking.
