Hi,
I bought for about 80 dollar the Nikkor 200mm f4 Ais on a local online market.
I went out this week end and took some pictures with the fuji X-T10.
Ho do you think it stacks up against other old 200mm lenses, in particular the Takumar?
PS: note, some pictures came out a little blurry as I am not used to shoot at this focal length.
Cheers.

Takumars and Nikkons are usually on same level in my experience. I had all 200mm Takumars in past and Nikkors as well.
200mm f4 almost all same no matter who made it, just like 135mm or 50mm lenses all great.

Your AiS stacks up very well to a Takumar.
I have the Super, S-M-C, and an older Nikkor-Q 200mm f4. They all resolved about the same, but the SMC rendered color better. Your newer Nikkor has better color than the pre-Ai Nikkor-Q.

I owned an AIs Nikkor 200/4 years ago and I found it to be a tack-sharp optic. One nice thing about it is it was so much smaller and lighter than the earlier pre-AI design. It didn't get much use, though, because I also owned an AIs 180/2.8 ED, which was an incredible lens. Your photos, especially the one of the bird, show its capabilities well.
These days, I own the 200/4 Micro-Nikkor, which is almost as compact and lightweight. It's a good third option if you can find it at a competitive price. The fact that it focuses down to 1:2 is a big bonus.
