I was able to update my Z mount lens from ver. 1.03 to 1.08; just used a usb-c to usb-c cable from the lens to my MacBook Pro. Now trying to make sense of the features of the app - lens splash ?, lens screensaver ?, etc...
Thanks for the review; the only one I've found that attempts to explain the fn1 and fn2 buttons. I got this lens for my Z mount Nikon Z8 and was able to update the firmware from 1.03 to 1.08 by using the iPhone app on my MacBook Pro.
Glad you enjoyed it. Those fn buttons are extremely important, especially for certain types of photography. Did you purchase your lens new? That might be why your upgrade was as seamless as it was.
Much appreciated. Glad that the details were helpful. I still can't get the firmware update to work at all. Maybe I'll reach out to Viltrox at some point about it.
From what I understand, some of their lenses update on desktop while others go through the app. I'd be interested to see if your lens would update through the app.
Colorado Springs! A great place for a 16mm!

I'll have to see if I can try this method then.

@jaymc5011 interesting. I'll have to get a hold of an IOS device when I get the chance.
Arm, leg and a soul! 😂
Nice review. Very detailed as always. Hope that firmware works now.

@@WIHRC I never knew they had an app. Maybe I should try one day with my 85mm 1.8

@BrooklynJimmie fair enough.
Thanks for the review!
