Samyang calls a halt to auto-focus lenses for the RF Canon mount !! - davidmanze - 03-10-2022

Samyang has decided to drop it's range of auto focus lenses for the Canon RF mount ......
 .......  as their lenses use reverse engineering for AF amongst other functionalities,  it may well be that these ongoing FW updates are the reason why Samyang cannot guarantee that later FWs of Canon's cameras will not interfere with their performance further down the road ...... 

....... a pity !!

Samyang has decided that in the middle of 2021.... aka last year (with no statement as to why).

How many were they even able to release, two? (I know of the 14 - tested here - and the 85, but maybe something else existed).

Yeah, that was it, pretty much.
