I keep getting an error message on this camera when I try to take a picture. The lens works fine on the D1, D100 and D70. I am setting the aperture to the smallest and still does that in any mode. Thanks
It might help if you could tell us which error message you're getting.
SOURCE: According to the manual for
In all modes the aperture ring on the lens should be locked at the smallest aperture. In the M and A modes you control the aperture by turning the command dial on the front of the camera. In P and S modes you control the aperture indirectly by turning the command dial on the back of the camera.

This lens lacks the electronics to communicate with the camera. You need to set the aperture to its smallest setting (as you've done) and switch to the manual exposure mode (turn the mode dial to M). You'll get no exposure assistance from the camera's light meter. You can use a separate light meter and/or adjust the exposure by reviewing your pictures.
