| ->> I'd like mine to have a red line around the barrel instead of the gold. |

->> But Alan, wouldn't one with a red line around the barrel have to be plush (soft).
Sorry, couldn't resist. |

| ->> I've got a Canon 70-200 2.8 I could make a mug out of....it's value to me might go up. And I don't drink coffee. |

| ->> Looks like a 3rd party coffee cup. Call me a gear snob, but never did like those 3rd party cups. Remember when lattes were introduced, and the 3rd party cups had all those compatibility problems? Nothing but genuine Nikon or Canon coffee cups for me. |

->> Chuck -
It's genuine canon - but it's an EF-s mug, so it only work's with half-caf. |

->> Yeah, I've bean there.
It grinds me to see such nice technology for a coffee cup.
Thanks a latte! |

| ->> I have a broken Canon 20-35 f 2.8 L that would make a perfect mug- any takers? |

| ->> I'd prefer a prime lens for drinking all the prime coffee I get... perhaps a 135mm f/2 mug to go with my 200 f/2 thermos... |

| ->> I see! I guess the 20-35 is a "Tall", the 135 is a "Grande" and a 70- 200 is a "Venti". I don't know what a 300 or 400 would be! ;-) |

->> I know that by the time I end up at the bottom of my cup in the morning, things are more in focus:)
I wonder if when you turn the IS on, you shake less from too much caffeine? |

Jefferson | MD | USA | Posted: 7:26 PM on 01.29.09 |
->> no no no, the 300 f4 is a Venti.
a 300 2.8 would be more like a 72oz Big Gulp. |

->> Credit for the idea surely need to go to the parents on the football sidelines because everytime I took my Canon 200 F1.8 to a game someone always said "I thought you brought a thermos, thats a lens ?"
Some clever person but of overheard that comment and ran with the idea..... |

| ->> For some odd reason this reminds me of the Nikor film tank (2 X 35mm) from which I drank coffee in the photo lab in school. It had been dropped so often a lid would no longer fit. I loved the looks people got when they saw me drinking from a developing tank. |

| ->> Following Pat's offering, shortly after Canon released the EOS line, CPS sent to its members a zoom lens housing (28-105 I think) with a clock fitted in it. I had it attached to a dead EOS 620 for a while, sitting on a shelf in my old darkroom. |

->> as long as you're going to get the camera lens coffee mug, wouldn't you love to know what the date is?
Find out the date for only $2000, that's US dollars. I got my NikonPro calendar in the mail 2 weeks ago.... for free! But I guess its not as cool as this.

| ->> Just think of all the GWC's (guys with coffee) out there just drinking away now that anyone can have something like this. : ) Also, Would you turn IS off when the cup was actually being used? |
