The Viltrox 85mm is a true full-frame 85mm lens the same design released for E-mount but with an X-Mount AF mount that is fully featured. They also released an announcement with some shipment issues that might cause shortages so grab one while you can.

Due to the shortage of orders for the viltrox 85mmF1.8 stm X-mount autofocus lens, the existing production line capacity is tight, resulting in the delay of the 85mmF1.8 stm E-mount autofocus lens pre-sale date, which opened on May 1, 2019. Pre-sale, we apologize for the inconvenience caused to the majority of photographers. The new production line is being tightened, so stay tuned.”
