This lens worked fine on my D800 and D7200

Thanks

Try cleaning the contacts on the lens and camera with 99% isopropyl alcohol and a Q-tip. Set the camera to non-CPU lens.

Hey Brock, I dont know if this is what your problem is or not, but I did a google search and found this ….I guess it is worth a try....

It's a setting.
When using an Ais lens with cpu, as the OP's lens is, it can be used in two ways - either by using the dials for the aperture setting or using the Aperture ring for setting aperture.
The fEE error means, that the camera does not read a "Minimum Aperture position". It's needed when (and only when) you have set the camera to use the (front, normally) dial to set the aperture. To make the camera read that "Minimum Aperture Position" the lens have to be set (and locked, if there is a lock") at the minimum aperture - case solved.
If the camera is setup to use the Aperture ring, there will be no way, the fEE error will occur.
How to set the one or another?:
On the D750 it's the f5 in the user menu - "Customize command dials". Go to Aperture Setting and select the setting you want - "Sub command dial" (ON) or "Aperture Ring" (OFF) - use the OK button to confirm.

I agree with the alcohol but no Q-tips! Lint is not your friend. Use a microfiber cloth like one for cleaning glasses.

Thanks, my bad. I knew that and forgot.

No worries. I remember someone saying that there were now lint-free swabs. Pricey, but you shouldn’t need them in bulk for our purposes.

Gonna have to look them up!

Set the lenses aperture ring to minimum aperture (F22?) and lock it there.

Check to make sure the lens is set to its largest aperture number (i.e stopped down to its smallest opening).

You guys will most likely cream me but I’ll try anyway. I purchased a Nikkor 105 Macro for my D750 and upon mounting it I got the EE and decided I just burned some money only after reading the manual I went to the menu on the camera in the setup menu (non-CPU LENS) and was prompted to enter the focal length and max aperture. Then it worked as it should. Guess it sometimes pays for me to read the manual. Now I just hope I can remember that the Nikkor 105 is Lens #1.
