Came across a cool coffee mug shaped like a tele lens.

    I have the same cup! It's my favorite one. Everything tastes better when you drink from it. And it looks very natural by the way.

    These mugs are fun. Got a few myself. I won't drink from them, though. The metal or plastic making up the cup portion are all from mostly unknown Chinese sources. And coming from that part of the world, they don't all exactly have a great track record for complying with normal FDA approved materials. If I could find a perfectly fitting plastic cup to use as a liner, then I'd use the mugs to drink from. Or maybe I'm just paranoid.

    I did a review some time ago on these…

    Just don't leave it in your car where it can be mistaken for the real thing. Could cost you a window.

    Yikes, I never even considered that possibility but you're right.

    I don't think you're being paranoid David - Chinese manufacturing standards have rightly earned our suspicion, and subsequent caution as consumers...
    Take for example the recent Lumber Liquidators formaldehyde-soaked flooring scandal... two weeks ago, the CEO swore the product was safe - today, he is looking for a job.

    I just saw a catalog offering of this mug in ceramic for $29.95 - I want one, but too rich for me, and, will the ceramic material ensure chemical purity... I don't know?

    Your "review" was a hoot!

    Guys, I got a nikon 24-70 one from my wife, after the initial shock (i always dreamed of one) i held up the box and my first thought:
    "Jesus this is way too light for a 24-70, ough my god she (my wife) got scammed for what like 1.5-2k $! "
    Then I realised it was a coffee mug, I was both sad and happy at the same time :D
