Thanks. You're right, the chances of a cheap 60mm macro f2.8 DX are zero. So what other prime DX lens could Nikon release this year?

They just announced the 10-24 DX which is wider than the Tamron 11-18 that I used to make these pictures. I was focussing manually on the D60 - it's easy, the lens has enormous depth of field so it's in focus most of the time anyway, plus it has a focussing ring with some resistance so it stays put once you've focussed it
