Yes, 90/f2.9 does come with Adaptor-II mount. The Adaptor-II mount version
came to market several mouths later than the AF one. That is why there
were impression only AF is available.

Tamron and other lens makers(like Tokina) once stopped making MF lens for
their new opticals, but it seems like they are coming back to MF lens again.
Specially the newest Tamron 28-105/F2.8 is also available im MF (one got
or tested this yet?)
