I have a lens Nikkor 50mm f / 1. 8D with Nikon D3000 camera, but the Aperture Ring on the lens can only be set at minimum aperture 22, when the Aperture Ring setting in another instance 16 or 1.8 then the camera was unusable (error), with a description of the camera "Lock Lens Aperture minimum Aperture Ring (largers f /-number) "!
Is there damage to the lens? Or a camera with a lens that does not support it?

Please help colleagues to the solution.

Thank you…

Added (1). Does Aperture Ring on the lens can be set other than to the minimum aperture 22?

You have to select f/22 and slide the little aperture lock up and then use your command dial to change the aperture setting. See my illustration here:
