Q: QuestionIs this lens compatible with a Nikon - D3400? it is not the same as the 18-55mm G VR and 70-300mm G ED Lenses that the camera comes with right?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Yes, the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G lens is completely compatible with the Nikon D3400 DSLR camera, as are AF-P and E-type lenses. Any of these lenses can utilize a built-in motor which allows the lens to autofocus; AF-S type lenses use a Silent Wave Motor, AF-P type lenses use a pulse motor (utilizing stepping motors) and E-type lenses have an electromagnetic diaphragm to maintain consistent exposure during high-speed capture using the Silent Wave Motor.
