I have a Nikon D7000 and recently purchased an AF VR-Nikkor 80-400mm 1:4.5-5.6D lens. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get the lens to work with the camera. The camera flashes the fEE error, which in previous experience with other lenses and cameras was solved by making sure the lens was set to the smallest aperture and locked, which I've done. I've even "run through" the range of apertures before locking.
I know that the camera works with two other lenses I've got.
I plan to travel internationally with my camera and lenses in just a few days, so if you have multiple ideas, I'd love to hear them all. I'm stressing out about not having enough time to continue researching my problem, especially since I live a great distance from any cities with camera shops and have to consider the holiday weekend.
Thanks for your help.
Added (1). The Nikon D7000 even on manual setting gives the error.
I just tried the lens on an older camera (Nikon D100), and it seems to work, although the D100 won't power the autofocus on the lens.So, I'm not sure if it's the lens (which works on one camera but not the other) or if it's the camera (which works with 2 other lenses but not this one).
