Marc Alhadeff confirms the Tokina 85mm f/1.8 FE is an exact copy of the Viltrox
Marc Alhadeff from SonyAlpha.Blog tested the new Tokina 85mm f/1.8 FE lens. he had previously tested the Viltrox 85mm f/1.8 FE and can confirm it appears to be exactly the same lens:
As a copy of the Viltrox 85mm F1.8 PFU RMBH STM , it gives basically same results but at a much higher price
So unless you prefer the different look of the Tokina I would suggets you save some bucks and get the Viltrox instead:
