Go back to mounting the lens on the camera with the aperture ring set to f/22 (if that is the smallest aperture on the lens). Press the shutter halfway to activate the display on the camera's top. WHILE the info is being displayed, you want to rotate that front dial on the camera body (command dial I think it is called). Keep watch of the display info. The aperture information *should* change as you rotate the dial. If it does, so far so good. Make sure you have the correct exposure set that you want to use and start taking photos. See if it works, and please let us know! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> The lens' aperture ring always needs to be set to its smallest aperture and does NOT get changed. When I've inadvertently changed the aperture ring on an AF-D lens, I'd get an ERR message in the display as the camera won't take the photo. At least that's how it has worked for me.The aperture will only get changed IF the display is activated (by the half press of the shutter). If you just rotate the front dial without the display being activated, nothing should change.Good luck! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
