It was often paired with a 70-300. I purchased a D3400 for my daughter several years ago. It came with both of these lenses, plus a camera bag and memory card, and the kit was on sale, new, for $500. It isn't a top of the line lens, but, IMO, is a solid performer, especially considering the price point. Light, quiet, fast and positive AF, and decent optical performance. The Ken Rockwell review I read gave it very favorable marks, and even bragged about the close focusing it offered. They are available used, for around the price of a decent, but not extravagant, sit down meal for two. Good idea to try out your buddy's lens on your camera.</blockquote>
