Use of Aperture Ring on Lens

[moby]

Hi, I hope this is not going to be a stupid question. Anyway here goes.

I just bought the AF 50 mm f/1.8 D lens and it has an aperture ring.

However it is locked at f22. So when i unlock it and try to start using it on my D80, the LCD screen shows fEE and I am unable to take the picture.

I have flipped the switch from AF to M at the bottom left side of the cam and also to manual mode on the dial switch.

Can someone point out to me what i am doing wrong? Or is it just that my D80 does not allow me to use the aperture ring of the lens?

Thanks in advance.

Oops, moderator can pls close this thread.

I should have read the sticky on D80.

My apologies. :embrass:
