There is a lot of glass involved with getting a 1:1 macro focal length, so they tend to be heavy.You can drop down to a 60mm or 40mm macro, and there are versions for DX cameras like yours. But there is another issue with that: you have to be physically closer to the subject to get that 1:1. So not really much help, but at least an explanation why you may have a difficult time getting a lighter macro.I don't know how you wanted to actually use the lens, but there are some of the 1:2 "macro" lens types, and they may do what you want. They tend to be zoom lenses. With a crop sensor D3400, instead of a half-size reproduction on sensor it gives the appearance of about 75% reduction.</blockquote>
