I use the "AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G" for micro photography. I also use the "AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G" when I can't get as close to the subject. Both lens will work on your D3400, to my knowledge (i.e., I owned and used these lens on my D3300 before moving up to the D750).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G Medium Telephoto lens is a super-fast lens that is optimized for use with FX-format DSLR cameras and can help you get outstanding images of a variety of subjects, including close ups. When mounted on a DX-format D-SLR like the Nikon D3400, the AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G FX-format lens has an effective field of view of 127mm. The minimum focus distance you can be from the subject with the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G lens is 2.62 feet or 0.8 m. from the focal plane. If you are looking for a lens that will provide a closer view with more vivid detail at a macro level you may want to look into dedicated macro lenses. The AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED lens provides a 1.0x reproduction ratio and can let you get as close as 1.0 feet or 0.314 m. from the subject. An AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G lens will give you an even shorter focusing distance from the subject at 0.53 feet or 0.163 m. and has the same 1.0x reproduction ratio.
