Nikon D3400 best prime lenses review

We’ve tested a total of 83 fixed focal length prime lenses on the D3400, including both FX-mount full-frame lenses, as well as the DX-mount optics that are specifically designed for use on the APS-C D3400. These lenses cover a vast range of focal lengths, from an ultra wide-angle 14mm for fitting lots into the frame, through to a super-telephoto 600mm focal length that offers a whopping 900mm equivalent on the D3400 (taking account of the Nikon 1.5x APS-C crop factor).

Nikon D3400 best zoom lenses review

In part 2 of our review  of the best lenses for the Nikon D3400, we’re looking at the performance of zoom lenses. More versatile than a fixed focal length prime lens, zoom lenses are often preferred by entry-level DSLR shooters, thanks to the convenience of having a range of focal lengths in a single lens. Image quality isn’t quite as good on a zoom compared to a prime, however, with generally lower lens metric scores recorded in our tests, although some zooms come pretty close to primes. The physics of constructing a zoom lens means that very wide maximum apertures such as f/1.4 or f/1.8 are also rare, although some of the best performers in this review boast wide f/1.8 or f/2 maximum apertures.

Nikon D3400 sensor review: New class leader

Nikon’s latest entry-level camera is an incremental upgrade to the D3300, using the same or related 24-Mpix APS-C CMOS sensor, an EXPEED 4 processor with a new top ISO value of 25600, Full HD video capture, and 5fps continuous shooting. It is also the first at this level to feature the firm’s SnapBridge technology for transferring still photos to a smart device.
