The lens is definitely faulty. Either return it to the retailer for an exchange/refund or send it to the manufacturer for a warranty repair. Of the options available, a warranty repair should be your absolute last choice.
Testimonial: "Thank you for your help - the response was rapid and I shall certainly take your advice and return it to the seller. Excellent service - thank you "
That's the Nikon error message for a lens with aperture ring set to something other than the minimum (i.e. highest number).
The camera insists on controlling the aperture ring, and to do so, the ring must be set to the minimum setting.
Unless it is a "G" lens, which has no aperture ring whatsoever.
The camera body sets the aperture of the lens wide open while
auto-focusing, and displaying through the viewfinder. When it comes
time to flip the mirror up and take a picture, the camera dials the
aperture to the setting you (or the camera) have selected.
