Tokina atx-m 85mm f/1.8 FE announced - Klaus - 01-17-2020
Has been rumored for some time. At 499USD vs 599USD for the native Sony, it's going to be tough for them ...

And someone found out that the design is identical to the Viltrox 85mm f/1.8.

The lenses use the same design, but it seems that Viltrox and Tokina produce the lenses/elements apart from eachother, with slight differences and slightly different MTF results (just like my Canon FL 55mm f1.2 and Nikkor-S•C 55mm f1.2... same optical design, but not the same results due to implementation, or for instance like the Canon EF 50mm f1.8 STM and Sony FE 50mm f1.8 (same basic design, different results).
