Having a moment;
Focus peaking (am I right)
Aperture priority
Tripod
ISO 64-100
Exposure delay mode and self timer
Just need a good subject and good light, boy I gotta get out.
Doesn’t look right to me.
Just did 10 hrs on the road to do one verrrry special shot ... two minute job other than the travel.
MF magnifier (no peaking)
Manual f:5.0 (3 stops down)
IBIS (1/50@40mm)
ISO 2000 (raw+jpg)
Maximum burst rate
6 frames, but 2 culled for blinking.
Two persons by north window light.
Yes. Get out more ... we hit the road at 3:30am. Try my settings. Yours look all wrong. Jpgs were ideal sooc. Enjoy !
Intended for what??
If you are thinking more conceptually in terms of what makes for a sharp image, consider a couple of other ideas. When focussing with manual lenses on your D850 focus peaking is roughly as accurate as your in focus dot. As long as you are on tripod and being a tad bit more contemplative try live view focus magnified instead. That will let you really nail it.
Given your fairly sophisticated gear list, you really ought to have some form of remote/cable release rather than using the self timer. I just bought a used MC-30 for $10. Lots of options here.
Instead of exposure delay mode, use that simple remote release in conjunction with mirror lock up & electronic front curtain shutter to minimize vibrations. (Note, this has some limitations. ie: no faster than 1/2000 sec and watch out for moving subjects where you might get some rolling shutter effect).
As long as you are on the tripod, asset more control and shoot manually instead of aperture priority.
If you tell us about your intentions, we can narrow down the advice and get more specific.

If you are thinking more conceptually in terms of what makes for a sharp image- Yes
When focusing with manual lenses on your D850 focus peaking is roughly as accurate as your in focus dot- I always use the dot or live view magnified, I’m finding focus peaking a little easer to nail.
Given your fairly sophisticated gear list, you really ought to have some form of remote/cable release rather than using the self timer. -I have these.
Instead of exposure delay mode, use that simple remote release in conjunction with mirror lock up & electronic front curtain shutter to minimize vibrations. - I'll try that.
As long as you are on the tripod, asset more control and shoot manually instead of aperture priority.- Nothing wrong with that.
If you tell us about your intention- I just need a good subject and good light
