The Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 EX is a fantastic lens. Here are a few sample shots.

The Nikkor AF-P 10-20mm DX f/4.5-5.6G VR is an awfully good deal at $307!

The Nikkor 10-20mm is also the most compact and lightest weight of the bunch... half the weight of many of the other options. Plus it's one of very few ultrawides with image stabilization.

The other Nikon ultrawide DX lenses are ridiculously expensive. Yes, they are better built than the much newer 10-20mm, but they will not produce better images.
Tokina makes several possible options, if you don't mind spending a bit more. But if you shop used be careful... Some of the older Tokina don't have a focusing motor in their Nikon F-mount versions, so would be manual focus only on a D3400. (They rely upon the focus drive motor in the camera body, which only the D7000 series and higher have.)

For single focal length, manual look at 7Artisans. Inexpensive and good images.
Im getting excellent results from Laowa, 7Artisans and TT Artisans lenses but have no specific model to recommend cuz none of mine are for ASPC SLRs. I can only say that their products are very much worth investigating if you are able to use them. The challenge acoarst is the D3400 itself.

Lots of recs for the Tokina. I don’t have that lens, but I do have the 100mm f2.8 macro, excellent results, if that is relevant to your search.

100mm could be considered almost an ultrawide for 5x7, but really for 8x10. I doubt that your Tokina has a shutter so that pretty much takes it off the table.

Not recommendibg this as a choice, just attesting to the quality of the Tokina lens.

I have and sometimes use the 10-24 and agree it is great. But if shopping for DX I’d get the AFP 10-20.

Reading the descriptions of the various ultra-wides in this article, it struck me as curious that most of them, except the Nikon 10-20, do not have any sort of VR. Out of curiosity, why is VR omitted in most of the wide-angles mentioned?

Sigma 8-16mm. As sharp as any, low CA, good work against the light, and the widest of all. Cons are: relatively slow (f4.5-5.6) and bulbous front element, making it hard to attach filters, but optically great.

I am interested in buying your lens.

If forced to buy it brand new that makes good sense. OTOH the 10-24 is generally available used for about $400 ... not a big leap. Acoarst a *used* 10-20 P is a great buy on a tight budget.
