I guess that one even took the rumor mill by surprise:

Will try to get one ASAP.

Well, regarding all the expected products I'd guess that Nikon has different development plans at the moment.
I'd say they've shifted their resources to the development of a mirrorless system.

Hallo Markus,
Thanks to share this. Looks cool.
It seems to me that Nikon is just the most serious in supporting APS-C DSLRs. The interesting question is, what are their plans for a mirror less setup.

Hi Klaus,
Sorry you lost me. Why do you take the release of an APS-C DSLR lens as a sign that they shift resources into mirrorless? I took it the opposite way.

Yep, they're obviously still very serious about DX.
Looking at the small and affordable DX lenses they release, I guess it's safe to assume now that a mirrorless solution from Nikon will indeed use a much smaller sensor than APS-C.

Will there finally then also be a test of the Tokina 35mm f2.8 DX macro?

I hope I am not revealing a secret, but there are already sample pictures at Photozone's Smugmug page.
Actually, I was thinking about buying the Tokina as a light-weight all-in-one macro normal prime. Now I will have to postpone the decision. The new 40mm paired with a D3100 would make an even smaller setup, since the Tokina requires a screw-driver camera.
