[QUOTE="Bikerbrent, post: 638032, member: 42081"] Welcome aboard. Enjoy the ride. We look forward to seeing more posts and samples of your work. These lenses are not AF-S and do not have a builtin focus motor, so you will only be able to use them in manual focus mode on a D3400. You might want to read this article, [URL="https://www.nikonimgsupport.com/ni/NI_article?lang=en_US&articleNo=000002638"]https://www.nikonimgsupport.com/ni/NI_article?lang=en_US&articleNo=000002638 [/URL] about using older lenses on newer cameras. To get a somewhat current DX camera that will allow autofocusing, you will need something in the D7XXX range or a D500. Otherwise you will need an FX camera. Also keep in mind the crop factor of a DX camera which means you will have a maximum wide angle of only 36mm using your 24mm lens. But, on the plus side your 70-300mm lens will get you out to 450mm.
