Nivakon you could have posted this in the tread about the nikon mug. No need to start another tread about the same topic.

please no direct links to commercial sites

since last time somebody went crazy for the canon 70-200 F4 coffee mug, its manufacturer from china(Long Live Made-in-China!) decides to bring us the 70-200 again, and a Nikon 24-70.

Myth 1
It's plastic inside. it gives you plastic taste while drinking coffee.

busted! both the canon last time and nikon this time are from the same manufacturer!
Stainless Steel inside.

Myth 2
Its cap could be used as a lens cap.

busted. if it's true, then you can use a lens cap as its cap in the same way. i dont think any of your lens caps are Water-Resisted.

Myth 3
the outside of the cup is of very low detail infact. that product photo was photoshopped from a real lens.

yes that is photoshopped; they need enough pre-sales to begin their work and now they have to PS one.
but i think it will be as detailed as the canon ones, same reason to Myth 1.

remember always: CHINESE MANUFACTURERS ARE ALL TALENTED IN COPYING.

Myth 4
they are too expensive.

CONFIRMED.

$50 on amazon, but here on taobao.com

65yuan for 1000cups at once
115yuan for 10cups or less.

115yuan = $17USD.

the ones on Amazon are provided by HK sellers, and it would be much cheaper if you purchase them on XXX, mainland china.

and that's all i know.
