Simone: AF Lock On? I do not understand what that means. As fas as I remember this has something to do with 3D-tracking which I do not use. Am I wrong?
It's a custom function with which you can set the time it takes for the system to refocus if you either lose the subject from your active focus point or something blocks it. In a sense, it has a lot to do with how reactive the AF feels.

Look up Steve Perry on youtube, he has a really good explanation of the Nikon AF system.

Thank you. I know the menu function but I do not really know what it is supposed to do and what is really does. I will check out Perry!

It can have a huge influence on how quickly AF is lost on moving subjects and how quickly it is re-aquired.
The longer the lock, the longer it tries to hang onto a subject, but it then also takes longer to re-quire focus. Shorter times help with quick re-aquiry, but might loose subjects quicker.
From your description above, me thinks the 810 and the 750 use different settings here.

All independent of 3D mode. Applies also for single AF point.

Danke Andreas. Ich schau mal dass ich für beide gleich einstelle.

Thank you Andreas. I will make sure the setting will be the same for both on Sunday

For all Biodiversity Lovers: I have hidden two animals who are no bees. Will you find them?

Gelbbindige Furchenbiene, Halictus scabiosae (Weibchen)
Braunbürstige Hosenbiene, Dasypoda hirtipes (Männchen)
Großes Heupferd
Irgendein Käfer ;-)

lots of Honey Bees

Now some from the D810. Gosh, The 105VR is a great lens optically. With some improvement to AF and VR this is a must have.

On the first picture we see (hm, did not get it better) two bloodbees fighting.

On the fifth picture I am not sure if this is a bee.

life of Dasypoda hirtipes (female)
« Reply #24 on: August 09, 2015, 17:33:12 »
The females build underground nests in the sand. "Building" means that patient people can observe them carrying sand out of their nest.

The first picture is from a series of excavation work. You can see a "hollow way" where she moves the sand along.

The second shows a bee that sits idle by her nest and gets checked out by an ant (also from a long series).

In the third picture you see a bee coming back from collecting pollen for her breed.

The next one shows the same bee a minute later shortly before take off to the next round.

The grey-blue signs are numbers for the holes. The bee in the last two pictures is Number 171.

Annotation concerning the 105VR. If it is not this special incarnation of it I only like the lens with AF and VR switched of. I cannot get it to do the things I want it to do otherwise. The VR causes loud "clonk" noise when the machine goes to sleep and wakes up causing camera shake big time instead of hindering it

Glad you got your AF Mojo working Frank.
Wow, so many bees!

I love the non-bees, especially the cricket, who has a very lugubrious expression on his face!

Can I ask about http://nikongear.net/revival/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=975.0;attach=1610
The bokeh seems very jittery compared to the others which are much smoother. Did you do something different for that one?

Picture 0673 shows a flower fly.
I expected that.
therefore the name of the file:
Biene oder Fliege?

Interesting serie !

There are sooo many different bees...

The flower fliy is Eristalis tenax ♀. (Syrphidaes). Diptera.

It's not from the bees family. ;)

I am following your thread.

Can you  number your pics, please ? That would be easier for commenting. Thanks.
