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. :)
