[QUOTE="hark, post: 719354, member: 13196"] I am pretty sure I had that lens several years ago (Sigma 70-20mm f/2.8). It has a focus motor in it so should AF on your D3400 without any issues. It might be okay for wildlife although it isn't a really long length that is typically used for wildlife. For stars, you are better off with something wider and fast. An aperture of f/2.8 or faster works best for stars (and the 70-200 lens [I][B]would[/B][/I] be fast enough although usually stars are shot with 10mm to 14mm on DX). The Sigma 18-35mm you mentioned might be good to start with though if you can get it for a decent price. The 18-35mm lens would also work for landscapes. In general, landscapes can be shot with 10mm and longer on DX. Sometimes I will use a 70-200mm for landscapes. Other times I'll use 24-120mm (keep in mind I use FX for landscapes). Stars 10mm to 12mm would be better for DX. Wildlife - the longer the better! [/QUOTE]
