If your shots are dark it is likely that the lens does not have the facility to auto stop down. You can still use it, but you will have to set the aperture manually.
Try setting the camera to shutter priority, and with the lens wide open see what the meter is suggesting for the aperture, then set this on the lens before taking your shot. The shutter speed will depend on your subject, but anything between 1/60th - 1/200th ought to be a good starting point.
