I've tried almost 20 times. On the last try at some point, when turning the focus ring, after maybe 12 turns, the aperture digit lit up orange instead white. This was never the case with the previous attempts. I then took the photo, waited briefly until the photo was written on the card, turned off the camera removed the battery and put it back in again. Then I turn the camera on again and: The Sony 7II shows aperture 1.6 now. Stefan, Thank You

I was really questioning whether this was legit however finally managed to get it working. At first I kept reinstalling the firmware although after reading the comments I found that this wasnt neccessary. I just kept doing the final steps (from when you attach the lens to the camera) and after several attempts I got it working. For all those thinking this was an April Fools joke or some sort of prank, have persistance and you will get there. Try manual focusing a little more / little less and same with battery (a little longer and a little shorter time) and eventually you will get the right combination. I have to say though, I hope in the future Viltrox make firmware updates a little easier including allowing firmware update when the lens is directly attached to the camera!

I can confirm you guys that it is indeed unlocking to f/1.6.I have compared the blades before and after and it was not wide open before, you could see like 3mm thick circle. After it worked, it just opened completely. Also I tried on mine several times with no luck and almost gave up, then I opened again the readme and noticed a keyword: "FULL". The secret guys is to do 4 FULL rotations after the focus is at minimum. Then the rest of the steps are easy. Good luck! And thanks Stefan for the amazing find.

Listen to this guy right here. I also tried a couple times calibrating but failed because I just turned the focus ring maybe a couple times. Do what he says and put a mark on your focus ring so that you know how many rotations you have put in after the focus is at the minimum.

On mine when it's at F1.6 you can see the blade still has a tiny lip. I think it's actually a F1.4 lens and could be opened up further. Makes you wonder why Viltrox would sell it as a F1.8 ? competing against Sony FE's F1.8 ? tax reasons ? Licensing ? I don't know ...

Little strange thing: I tried and succeeded with unlocking the 1.6 aperture. But only did it for fun. Now i downloaded and installed the current firmware version (UPD8518FEV117.DAT - V 1.1.7) from the viltrox website, installed and checked. V1.1.7 is installed but i can still set the apperture to 1.6 ??? if i connect the lens via USB i can look at the info file and ist says version is 1.1.7 Can anybody else confirm that ?

Absolutely fantastic, you have to turn the ring atleast 12 times ... 4 times didn't work for me. And after the update you can clearly see the IRIS open up more and you can see the image get brighter on the A7iii's LCD screen. So it's a good aftermarket update. Makes you wonder why Viltrox would develop what looks like a F1.4 lens (because that IRIS appears to look like it can be opened up a bit more) but sell it as an F1.8. Tax reasons / licensing reasons ? I don't know.

A few days ago I said I couldn't get the firmware to work on my Sony a7II. At the time I tried it 4-5 times to no avail. Well, I have an update. I persisted and after installing, reinstalling the firmware, and going through ALL the steps about 10 times I finally got the thing to go down to F1.6. The only thing I can suggest is be patient. You may have to try the whole routine like I did...10 times or a little less to get it to work but it will work, eventually. It just takes a lot of patience and if you don't have the patience to give in a good honest fair trial then this is not for you. To make a long story short, it finally worked for me.

Ok so can somebody shed some light for me. I am noticing my Sony A7iii freezing up occasionally after this update to the lens. If I set the APS-C/ Full Frame mode to "AUTO" in the menu it freezes the body. If I set it to Manual it works but then while I am using the camera after a while it can randomly freeze, screen goes black (you can still see the HUD but no picture). Anybody else notice this ? I have to say I am also using a third party battery grip with my A7iii so not sure if that has something to do with it as well.

Short update for those who come to this video: I did the update and it works! But I lost the ability to flash. The camera focusses and then it takes a second or two until the camera takes the picture. Installed a fresh official firmware (v1.20 at the time of writing) and I was able to use the flash again and ƒ1.6 was still available.

Just to note: you "loose" the f1.8 setting, at least my lens now steps ƒ1.6, ƒ1.7 and then f2.0.

Hi Stefan, Just wondering if you know if automatic lens profiling works when it is at 1.6. I have seen some other reviewers mention that the lens profile which pops up is that of the Zeiss Batis 85mm. Thanks! P

Hey, I just got this lens and "updated it". At f1.6 the apeture blades are fully retracted. In a long term does it harm the motor/blades? Btw thank you for this video👊🙏

It is reported that this firmware update only works for the Mark I version (actually, I heard about this update only because I've read a testimonial about the Mark II and a note that this update doesn't work with the M2)
