So I have a DX (16x24mm) Sensor on my Nikon D3400, will this 35mm lens be the equivalent to a 52mm lens when I am shooting? Or does it shoot 35mm because this is a DX lens so theres no need to multiply by the 1.5x crop factor? null

Yes, even though it’s a DX lens on a DX body there will still be a crop factor. So a 35mm will roughly be 50mm, a 50mm roughly 80 and so forth.

If you want a “true” 35mm you’d need to get a 24mm lens (for a DX or a 35mm on FX).

Yes, the lens will be equivalent to a 52mm lens.

The Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G Standard lens is optimized to work with DX-format cameras like the Nikon D3400 DSLR. Using this lens with the D3400 will give you a minimum angle of view of 44°.
