God, what a chunk of overpriced plastic!
I mean, they're cool, quite a neat idea, but still... it's a freakin coffee mug, let's be real here. | | | |

So when you get up in the morning, bleary eyed, and pour coffee into your lens, who you gonna blame? Or when you get in a hurry and pour your cuppa joe onto your camera sensor?  | | | |

Not cheap.
I can also see heading out for a morning shoot and coming back to find the window on my car smashed as someone tried to steal an expensive "lens." | | | |

I'd like to brand them and hand them out as thank you packages for clients. That'd be cool. Wonder how cheap I could get them for in bulk, send them off to a screenprinter for a logo and phone number printing? | | | |

Gotta agree, the price is outrageous. Cool idea but lets make them reasonable. | | | |

I like the tagline... "don't pour your coffee in a real lens".
Well then where are the Nikon versions??? | | | |

It is clever, I'll give them that. Of course, as stated, $80 for a coffee mug.... | | | |

You'd think for $80 it would have Starbucks in it. :) | | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
