Nikon has released a new kit lens in 2016 that is
compatible with D3400. There are various kit lenses
before it. This is what you need to understand :
AF- 3 18-55mm VR - oldest
AF-318-55mm VRII-old
AF- P 18-55mm VR- latest
The P stands for a stepping motor, a newer
technology which makes the lens signi?cantly
quieter ( almost silent) and slightly faster. The new
lens has also a slightly better performance at wide
open settings, And it has VR- Vibration Reduction for
image stabilization. You can read the Ken Rockwell
review of this lens.
I’ve seen many people being angry at the seller for
sending them the AF-P VR lens which is the latest,
complaining that they did not get the VR ll lens, You
should be actually thanking them for sending you the
latest lens and not the old one.if you’re serious about photography:
1) Nikon 55-200mm. Great for portraits, Decent
zoom and reach, Not for far away bird shots though.
( For that buy the Tamron 70-300mm over the Sigma
or if you’re rich get the Nikon 70—300 VR) , A major I
wildlife photographer needs something like Tamron
150-600mm lens,
2) Nikon 35mm f1 86, An all around amazing lens,
This lens makes you a better photographer, Fixed
prime, meaning no zoom, But unmatched image
quality at this price. Great for indoor shots too,
3) A wide angle lens, Expensive Tokina 11-16mm,
4) If portraits are a big deal to you, only then go for
the 50mm f1 , 8 G,
Overall an amazing camera. You cannot go wrong
with this one Just make sure you really need a DSLR
and its features If you’re someone who needs better
images than smartphones with a good ?ash, better
portability and going to shoot in Auto Mode anyway,
you’re looking for a point and shoot camera and the
new ones takes great pictures under good light
