There's the 110 XL, but be prepared to pay dearly for it these days. I went for the Grandagon-N 6.8/115 instead as it is still an excellent performer at 1/3rd of the price. A bit heavier and bulkier though.
Fuji has a 105 SW.

Excellent, the best two choices in this range is either 90mm itself or 110mm, i read somewhere that someone used 90mm and 110mm and he preferred that 110mm more, but the majority are using 90m over 110mm, so i can research more, and again, i am sure any of both will be a satisfactory, i am not too much picky about quality or performance these days.
Hi Tareq
If that's the case and you are just looking for a few more lenses to have fun with ...
In addition to the great suggestions already, you might search for a Tele Design longish lens is always great to have. You might search used shops and eBay &c for Wollensak "tele optars".
There is the 10" (254mm) and 15" (381mm). Sometimes you can find them in Betax Shutters if you need that. They are great all around lenses, coated and having a nice transition between focus and out of focus, and sharp as nails stopped down. If you re doing long exposure work of the heavens they are more easily found without shutters (plain old barrel) ... don't let their brand or age fool you, they are fantastic lenses if you are looking for that sort of thing ( longish that don't use a lot of bellows on your speed/crown graphics or other cameras you might want to use them on ).
Have fun!
Best

More wide angle lenses..
110mm f5.6 Super Symmar XL.
115mm f6.8 Grandagon-N
120mm f8 Super Angulon, Sinar DBM mount.
125mm f8 Fujinon SW.
All have virtual-near identical optical performance which is outstanding beginning at f11/f16 to f45. There are minor differences in contrast rendition and color rendition.. resolution and all related to that is not significant enough to discuss-debate over. They ALL have baked-in. designed in light fall off issues that is corrected by the proper neutral density center filter.
Question should be what focal length (IMO, 90mm/105mm/110mm are close enough. Moving camera position is often an option) not if these lenses are any... good. Essentially, pick any and make images as all are absolutely capable of producing excellent image quality.
