Given the conflicting and wrong information circulating online, I contacted Viltrox directly and asked them about their 135mm f/1.8 LAB lens coming for other mounts. This is the response I got:

The E-mount version of the lens is currently available at Amazon, B&H Photo, Pergear, and Viltrox store.

The new Canon EOS R1 camera is already in stock at Amazon from an authorized US dealer:
