I have to admit, I have been coveting these camera lens coffee mugs ever since we first laid eyes on the notoriously difficult to find Canon 70-200mm L-series white lens thermos back in March and the EF 24-105mm mug in August.
Thanks to MiniInTheBox, we are giving both of these mugs away to a lucky reader—and we’ll even throw an extra surprise inside.
Head over to That’s Nerdalicious! for all the details on how to enter…
From That’s Nerdalicious!:The Canon camera lens thermos was only available for a short time, but Nikon has jumped in there to fill the void. Their awesome camera lens thermos is now available for purchase (assuming you can get on the overloaded product page that is).

If you recall, I recently lamented the fact that these Canon 70-to-200mm L-series white lens coffee mugs were given to reporters at the Olympic Press Center, but were not available to the general public. This isn’t the first time the concept of integrating lens and mug has been toyed with, but up until this point no actual products have materialized.
Well, it seems that Canon was preparing to offer it all along—the mugs are now available for pre-order as a Canon Canada exclusive priced at $30 CAD or $29 US. Shipping starts on April 16th.

Apparently, Canon gave out these insulated coffee mugs shaped like a 70-to-200mm L-series white lens at the Olympics press center. Obviously, this ranks up there among the coolest swag ever handed out.
Interestingly enough, a similar concept popped up a few years ago. The idea was popular then and it’s popular now—so why hasn’t a manufacturer like Canon made a version of this mug available to the public? It would sell like crazy.
