Is Nikon set to deliver its first DX macro lens of the mirrorless camera era? Two DX optics rumored

Four Nikon lenses (two are silhouettes) with big DX lettering in background on an orange gradient.

Nikon could be gearing up to release two DX lenses this year, a 35mm f/1.8 macro and 16-50mm f/2.8. Both lenses would surely be well received by DX fans, given the still relatively sparse smattering of native APS-C glass in the lineup of Nikon Z lenses.

Of course, any DX-format Nikon Z-Series camera can be used with full-frame FX Z-Series lenses (with a 1.5x crop factor). But the beauty of DX lenses is that they tend to be much smaller and lighter than their full-frame counterparts.
