It took me a couple of tries before I realized taht I was skipped a step in the instructions. You connect the camera and then download both an appear the lens station and a file with the new software version. You have to use the lens station app to initiate the update. Ona Mac, you may have to go to System Setting and Security if you get a message that the lens station software isn't verified malware-free.
I ordered this because my Rokinon 35/1.8 was not focusing with my new Sony a7C II. It works, but don't let it automatically find your upgrade! When I did that, it bricked my lens, but no worries, using it the right way unbricks the lens. Go to the website, find the upgrade for your lens and download it. Attach the station to your computer, install the s/w. Attach your lens to the station. Click Lens Connection. When it's connected, it will offer to find and install the upgrade. Cancel that. Click Load Lens f/w file. You'll then navigate to where the upgrade you downloaded is. Click Update. The lens firmware will quickly update. I'd give it 5 stars if it wasn't for the little niggle with it trying to work automatically. I upgraded both of my Rokinon lenses, and they work perfectly.
