Nikon shooters have to be careful, though. There are two versions of that lens. The first one, in Nikon mount, lacks a focus motor and will only autofocus on D7000-series and higher models. It will not AF on a D3400 or any other D3000/D5000 models. The Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 "II" in Nikon mount has built-in focus motor and can AF on those cameras, but generallly sells for a bit more.
Thank you so much for your comment.
How I know about the models?
The website says this one has auto focus, can I trust?

I own the Tokina 12-24, f/4 and use it on a Nikon D3, D7000 and D500 with excellent results. I used the Tokina 11-20 on a trip a few years ago and was impressed by that lens also. When I went to buy one I bought the 12-24 used instead because I got a great deal from KEH and really don't miss the 2mm on the wide end and the 1 stop aperture difference. Never saw the other lenses but be VERY aware that the Nikon P-series lenses will NOT work on your camera. The only time I don't take that lens with me is if I'm shooting a soccer or lacrosse game; otherwise, it comes along for every ride.

Thanks for you answer. How do I know if it is P-series?

Instead of AF-S, it will be AF-P. It’ll list the series on the lens.

This is the description you started off with so it is in the lens: Nikon AF-P DX NIKKOR 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6G VR. This will appear on the barrel of the lens, for example: Nikon DX AF-S 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6GII ED. Your lens says AF-P, not AF-S, so it only works on Nikon D7000, 7100, 7200,etc. Basically eliminates all D3xxx and D5xxx cameras and any camera made before 2007. Nikon has a compatibility chart on their webpage--that should help you eliminate the Nikon lens in question. Just my 2 cents, the consensus seems to be the Tokina lens. Buy from a dealer that offers returns. Good luck

Hello again
I've just figured out something and know I'm a little confused.
You said AF-P lenses would not work on my D3400, only AF-S. So, can be the opposite?
I see that both of my kit lenses are AF-P.
So maybe it's AF-S that I shouldn't buy?

My bad. There are limitations to the D3000, 3100, 3200, 3300, but not the 3400. Here is a link to Nikon's webpage that contains the compatibility chart. I can say that if your camera can handle the newest lenses from Nikon, you can use almost any lens from 1977 to the present with no modifications and any lens from 1959-present with minor modification. I had my nifty 50 from 1971 modified so that it worked on my D7000 and my 2 film cameras.
