Ray,
Any chance you could share those on the "MF Nikon Glass shooting AF lenses" forum?
I just linked to it in my post of the Ford consul above
Colin
Colin, thanks for the help. I tried a reinstall of the last firmware, and even the last distortion control update; reset again the camera; leave the camera without a batery for some 3 min; unfortunately the issue continues: only AF-S lenses work
Stop complaining and celebrate I brought both the D7200 and the V1 cameras to the trip as backups.

Thanks Samy and Ray for the tips on fixing the D810.
Unfortunately, after cleaning the contacts, resetting the camera and even removing the battery for some minutes, the D810 continues to refuse to work with both AF-D and MF lenses! However, AF-S lenses work perfectly ?!
Jose, if it's only happening with AFD lenses, then my other suggestion is that the AI ring is not properly registering that the lens has been set to the minimum aperture, ie the D chip says minimum aperture is f22 but the AI ring is reporting say f18 and not f22. Not sure how to determine that, maybe mount an AFD lens and wiggle it a little past the mounted position. Don't know what to say about the MF lenses though..... that is weird. Perhaps the setting that says that you want to allow the aperture ring to control aperture needs to be changed?(it's custom function f9 on my D800).
Colin, love the concept you had in your head for the white cliffs. I'm sure it would have looked great. I enjoy the process of pre-visualing and then hunting for the shot.
For the AF-D lenses, there's a screw that comes through the mount and goes into the lens to drive the focus. See if that's getting stuck. As you are looking at the camera, the lower left, you'll see the screw sitting there, press on it to see if it goes in easily.

Definitely check these... I have had both happen on both my D700 and D7000.
Very good shots over the past several days. Thank you for the likes I received.
Ray, you're right, the lights and patterns on the bridge make for a great photo! Also the great expression on the 2nd bicyclist.
Lester very nice b&w images
Kristian, likewise with your b&w shot, very well done.
Colin your IR images are striking. The beach shacks put me in mind of a "Mr. Bean" episode I recall. Very nice indeed.
Jay, using the D800? Nice contrast.
Samy you bring Einstein to life.
Scott love the station.
Peter very nice fisheye capture. Where were you?
Jose great burrowing Owl. Sorry about the D810 and can offer nothing more to fix it than what was already proposed except for checking to see if the contacts coming in contact with the lens may have gotten dirty or collected debris!
Ugh guys I durn messed up. Checked infinity was okay with the 50 1.2 with that cheapo adaptor to Fuji and left it at that.
Packed the 50 1.8 instead for my trip to Taiwan and for some serendipitous encounter, I found myself on the back of a scooter, kid with the wife, my fatigue chased away by an uncharacteristic late-evening ice latte, a loaner tripod in my arms and headed up a windy road to the top of the ridge overlooking the city of Changhua.
The sun was a perfect circle, blazing orange-red as it started to descend into the foggy band of what's probably man-made smog and pollutants. The concrete guardrail where I stood, overlooking the valley was perfect - tops of trees just sloped down and away - no pesky stray branches nor leaves. I can see why this was the unofficial local lovers' lookout, I was falling in love with the scene myself. I chuckled an early congratulatory note to myself for having this amazing opportunity somehow falling into place.
Oh hubris. I changed out into the fifty and it just. wouldn't. focus. to. infinity. I turned it all the way to the end and it was, I could almost visualise it, just another quarter inch turn away. But it could go no more, and the vision in front of my eyes, a fuzzy image of a hurriedly greying city seemed an allegory to the growing disappointment in my insides.
Haven't pulled out the 50 since. The 27mm Fuji is so far great for market scenes but the heartache is still too much to bear. I have another week to go here, we'll see how it goes...

For a moment I thought, whilst reading your story, that you were going to say your family and camera equipment met tarmac.
Sorry to hear about your equipment malfunction. Live and learn I suppose.
Wow, really great photography people! Regarding the 50 1.8, you could fairly easily (?!) reset the focus of that lens to infinity for that adapter if you like.
Still recovering from a trip to Austin Falls yesterday.
D7200 + Nikkor 800mm f5.6 ai-s EDIF + tripod; ISO 160, f/8 at 1/400s. 33% crop (8/24Mp).
Have I already told you guys that the old and "outdated rubbish" 800/5.6 ai-s ED-IF is my favourite lens?

Mark,
Just noticed you put your 810 up for sale the day I left
Welcome back! Yes, the D810 is for sale, no takers yet, such a shame as it’s in impecable shape! Hard to give up, but I just don’t use it enough and totally love my DF and have the D500 for my action needs. Between adding the Leica and the Fuji, it needed to go.
Looking forward to seeing the photos from your trip!
