Sure. The thing is I dont have real fast AF glasses to test the focus speed but I will try to test with glass that I have. For now, the MF lenses for most part will still be on D610 whereas long glasses will be on D7200.
Back with some results from the Exakta mount Nippon Kogaku 13.5cm 3.5 lens (the rangefinder Nikkor which got put into a SLR mount in the 1950s). Exakta Varex camera, loaded with Delta 100 film.
That's not a lot. Seems as you got a really good deal!

I think I did well. Just did test shots after reaching home and did a shutter count. It had just over 450 shots. Thats hardly broken in then.

After quite a few years of going to sea on various ships, that is one vessel I would not want to be on in the open ocean! Boy that thing looks top heavy. I don't care how much ballast is in the bottom of that ship
Another from a disorderly gaggle (is that redundant?) of cameras. Nikon M (very very early, this was the model right after the Nikon One). The M preceded the Nikon S, had the same 34X24mm frame, and had an 'M' at the start of the serial number on the top. To be precise, this is the Nikon MS, since it has the flash sync. This was with the NKJ 5cm 1.4SC, not a lens it would have been paired with when the camera was produced in early 1951.
More on the history/gaggle theme - Nicca Type 5 camera with the Nippon Kogaku 8.5cm f2 PC lens, Delta 100.

The tall tower beyond the Jones Falls waterway (as seen from Baltimore's Inner Harbor area) is the Phoenix Shot Tower. At one time it actually was used to make cannonballs - as I understand molten iron was dropped into water from the top, resulting in nice round cannonballs.
Nicca was a well regarded clone of the Barnack Leica design. Type 5 is the more advanced version of the camera. Actually has a window in the back where you can verify the freshly loaded film is moving smoothly before closing up the bottom plate.
The Niccas were generally sold with standard Nikkors in LTM mount - either the 5cm f2 or the 5cm 1.4. Nicca was subsequently taken over by Yashica, and the next version has both the Yashica and Nicca name on it.

Actually it was used to make lead shot, not 'nice round cannonballs'
