Arkady is probably the man to answer this, he's probably put more rolls of film through nikons than anyone else on here.
 
I wouldn't ruin any more film, as it's highly likely the shots will be OK despite this ERR message. These ERR messages with digital cameras are often down to lens compatibility issues, and sometimes it just occurs, and can often be remedied by switching on and off again after removing and replacing the battery.

You may find some info specific to the F50 in this thread HERE
 
Is the lens new to the body?

If so try using full manual mode, and see if it negates the error.
If it works, the problem is the Auto focus and/or metering not being compatable with the lens.

HTH
 
'ERR' usuallly indicates that the aperture lock button has come unstuck and that the aperture ring isn't locked on f/22 (or whatever).
 
Don't know if it is the same as on canon but when I got an err on my t90 I swithed it off and back on again and it worked for a few shots then err again all the time. It was the cpu that had given up.
