Title: How cool is this mug
Post by: RT on March 11, 2010, 15:17

Just saw this, the ultimate coffee mug for photographers (well those that use Canon):

Apparently Nikon made one as well but it leaked  ;D

Does it offer Coffee Stabilization to keep it from spilling?

Cool!

But if you leave your mug in your car (like I do), you're gonna regret it...

I could make one, but it'll cost about $2,000 usd

In my sad attempts to get one of the thermal mugs I came across this shot of a concept mug that I think is better.

Same as usual, everyone wants one until they find out the asking price.

Found this which I think is someone who's going to play the market for all the suckers he can find. The real ones should be 1/3rd of this price, even with paying Canon with licensing fees for the design and logos. Unless Canon makes them and jumps on the novelty?

Cool idea, tripod ring, is the handle!

and here's the sold out page, with similar dating and wording?

So would you pay $99 for a coffee mug?

If you don't want to shell out the euros/bucks for the mug here's an idea for turning an old lens into a flowerpot.
