EE NIKON D 200

Turn the aperture ring to its smallest setting (largest f/number) and lock it. You can control the aperture from the camera body, the same way you control it on a lens without an aperture ring.

The manual says what f ee means, do you have the manual? Il get the manual now and check.

It means the aperture ring isn't locked. Turn the aperture ring on the lens to its smallest setting (largest F/number). If the ring has a lock, lock it. You can control the aperture from the camera the same way you would using a lens with no aperture ring.

Having received no response in over a month, I assume this is no longer a problem.

Yeah sorry, that's what i meant, Nikon.
Try to clean lens contacts on the camera with alcohol.

"F-EE" indicates that the camera cannot take automatic control of the lens' diapraghm. To resolve this, turn the aperture ring on the lens (the one nearest the camera body) to the largest number (probably 22 or 32).

Have you turned the lens aperture ring to the lowest value (32) and locked it with the little button thing?
Sorry if you know about this.

It likely means that the aperture ring on the larger lens is not set to the minimum f-stop number, i.e. f22 f32, usually orange.

I'll offer the same answer I just gave on a D200 question: With the lens off, look at the camera mount area. If you are looking straight at the mount, there is a small tab sticking out at about 7oclock on the outside edge of the mount ring. The tab is spring loaded and may be damaged. You should be able to push the tab toward the base of the camera and it will snap back if functioning properly. If it feels loose or doesn't spring back, then switch that ab controls is not being activated.

When you get a flashing EE, it means there is an Eror somewhere. Most cameras have a botton you press to reset it. Usually it is the battery check button. Try that. Also try taking the lens off the camera, unlocking the aperture ring, remount the lens and then lock the aprture ring to the minimum F stop. I think this should solve the problem.
