Right now Im shopping for a fast 256 or 512 and prices are ~$150 to over double that $$. Cheap for some folks ... other than myself.

Mirror slap my a.. I miss the solid "thunk" of my Nikon F, but not enough to go back to film 
Uh huh. And SLRs of recent build dont really slap or even "thunk". Acoarst thaz a sign of good design, but its not at all nostalgic.
Some mirrors do not pivot like a door on a hinge. The complex motions of the mirror in my Canon 5DIII seems to be "lift and slide rearward". IIRC its motor driven, not spring loaded. Its incredibly fast but really gentle, and theres nothing at all nostalgic about it.

I have four SD cards and four micros in adapters.
I never had a problem with the micros in adapters after a couple of years.
The micros with adapters were on sale at the time, cheaper than the full size cards.
Your choice. I wouldn't worry.

And the contacts are gold plated, they don't tarnish.
The adapter is straight through, no electronics, no delays.
No problem fitting in the camera.

I have video project idea that will most likely involve more frequent removal and exchange of the memory cards. Therefor I will definitely go with micro SD cards. I can extract micros directly from the adapter without ejecting the adapter. This eliminates beating up the card latching and ejection mechanism.
Hawgsters are rather fearful of adapters for both cards and lenses. Makes for great multi page arguments and lengthy pontification in the Great UHH Sacred Tradition.

B&H DOES "collect" the sales tax via their payment processing system, then--as a part of the same transaction--reimburses (credits) the customer. The tax amount is captured for reporting and remittance to the relevant state. Essentially, B&H is absorbing the sales tax cost on behalf of the customer. Particularly for large ticket items, it's a great benefit available to B&H customers.
It a clever way to undersell MSRP and MAP.

Recommendations? Thanks in advance.
70-210. Thaz the universal choice.
If you buy a clean used one, you can sell at little to no loss if your needs change, cuz theres a huge pool of buyers for such a lens.

I think the choice of zoom or prime for a telephoto is an individual choice. Without some of the criteria you want for taking pics, it would not make any sense for someone to recommend something, it would be purely on the basis of what they shoot and desire in their lens. So, to help narrow the choices, how important is weight, cost, sharpness, ability to shoot in low light? What are you currently using? What do you hope to capture with your new to you lens?
Cant buy into all that fake expertise ... a 70-210 does it for most tele needs and thaz what you buy. No need to play "wise advisor" and interview the user. If a user specifies birding thaz different. For all else, with APSC the 70-210 does it all, no questions asked.

Wake up folks. The OP is obviously NOT using 110 film. It wasnt made in BW and there was never a 110 back (ROTFLMFA) for Hasselblad.
The OP has 6x6 rollfilm BW negs. No wahala.
Faster than scanning, 6x6 negs can also be digitized using a camera and light box. The copy lens doesnt even need to reach 1:1, or even half of that. Using an APSC camera the lens need only reach 1:4.

Selling some DSLR gear. Took my D500 in hand and snapped a few pics. Great feeling and sound. That mirror moving up and down brings back fond memories.
Anyone else?

Buy a cheap old non-electric film SLR, with operating shutter and mirror, with a really pronounced audible slap, and fondle it and crank and trigger it to your hearts content.
Probably theraputic for blood pressure and mental health.

Credit where credit is due, some of our geeks do exhibit both things at once, both brilliance and bullshit. But BS is still BS even if it might be brilliant BS, or at least *almost* brilliant. Ridiculous posturing is acoarst always pure BS, even when built upon real facts.

Rons project seems headed for some success. Having the texture relate to image densities is key. Thaz very intentional to call it texture and avoid the terms "noise" and "grain". For me its not about linguistic accuracy, but its to avoid the "emotional baggage" thaz been heaped upon "grain" and "noise" as words.
Im happy with the textures in the attached color image cuz they seem, to my eye, to be proportional to variations in density or tonality or brightness or whatever term avoids rhetorical nit picking !
There are no texture filters or layers involved. I spoze the texture ought to be called noise, but its been very intentionally massaged and exagerated. Its also admittedly easier to mess around with this type of semi-abstract image than with something more represenitive of a familiar subject.
