I know this is not what you are looking for but I have a Tamron 90mm f/2.8 adaptall macro lens. Aperture ring on the lens, manual focus, and a cheap $15 non-electrical adapter. Tamron stopped making adaptall lenses around 2013. Pity. Adapt-All lenses where manual versions of their lenses without a mount. So you can buy a adaptall mount to use a lens on any body. I bought my 90mm macro in 2013 to use on my Fuji and now on my Olympus - which is fantastic with IBIS and focus peaking.

Sounds like a convenient setup and a good explanation of why a "dumb adapter" can be the smart choice.

For wildlife filming, AF is preferred, at least for the initial acquisition.  In general the coatings and optics perform a bit better on digital-aged lenses.
