Then they may be out of era ...? Considering this is 1964 (?) ... I don't think the F2 was out till the early 70s?

The camera is an F2A Photomic. That is an F2 with the first series of Photomic heads the DP-11 fitted.

Middle image:
It looks like a trusty F2A, though the lens isn't a Nikkor from the look of it, more like a Tamron judging by the thin focusing ring and lettering in the front of the lens around the front element.

Lower shot: Image is too small to really work out what's there but from the shape of one of them I'd hazard an educated guess at either a Bell and Howel 8mm movie cam or an old Ariflex unit perhaps as well as what looks like a Petri.

One second to get a shot off is pretty average, most of us old timers who cut our teeth on these bodies don't find that difficult at all. I can do 2+ fps on a fully manual body when needed.

Can you supply hi res shots of the mid and lower frames kamwai? If you can please let me know.
