[QUOTE="Potshot21, post: 681495, member: 45650"] Hello and welcome to my first post! I am finding myself leaning into the world of landscape photography, and as such am in search of a wide angle lens. I'm still really new to real photography and until I discover if I'm going to really dive in head first, I'm limiting my purchases to a fairly tight budget. I've done a little research and have come up with two choices: 1. AF-S Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G prime lens 2. AF-P Nikkor 10-24mm f/4.5-5.6G VR lens I've been leaning towards the 35mm due to the larger aperture. I have it in my head that the large aperture will make this lens much more versatile and also allow for better low light shots and give me the tools to try my hand at night photography. I am worried however that the 35mm on a crop sensor D3400 will result in images that do not give a true wide angle feel and look to them. Alternately, with the 10-24mm, I am concerned that the smaller aperture will greatly limit my ability to capture a good image. As I stated, I a very new to this and am trying my best to understand, and as such would love some input from more seasoned veterans to ensure I am purchasing the right lens so that I can continue to grow my skills. Of course I there are any other lenses out there that I am not considering that would fit the bill as well, I am very open to guidance. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
