Upon download & enlargement, none of these three images appear sharp. Your shutter duration & aperture look proper. Is the 85-mm a Nikkor macro lens?

If these are hand-held, then A-F is not a problem. I use A-F for all of my hand-held macro-photography. If your camera was tripod-mounted, then you probably should have switched-off lens VR.After I posted I thought better check my camera settings an found I forgot to take the af switch to manual could be why?
I suggest that you spend much time with just your macro lens, at or very near Minimum Focusing Distance, to get as much experience as possible, before "graduating" to extension tubes.
