Just acquired a D850 as well - had a Tamron lens fitted that could not be removed.

Careful examination suggested to me that one of the lens mount screws had been pulled out by the lens being bent upwards and had fallen into the AF drive hole effectively locking the lens to the body.

It was a no brainer to sacrifice the damaged lens, the zoom is broken anyway, so a little judicious prying around the plastic base had the cover snapped off and then I could get in to remove the loose screw.

The camera is undamaged and everything seems to work normally - however the shutter count is huge - 736,770!
