I've come across these on eBay. If you do an eBay search for lens cup you should find quite a selection.

I, too, have been plagued by these when doing searches for lenses. You find just what you want for a few quid - then you realise it's just a mug. I'm not sure if they are good or bad. Anyone one there own one?

My cup runneth over. A gift from my grandchildren. Yes. we are a rather wacky family. It is especially nice to have when out photographing on a cold winter's day. It has a place of honour in my Canon section.  Mickey |

At least, I can finally say something good about Canon EF lenses ... they are obviously water- ... eehm coffee proofed ... hahaha ... okay just kidding. I better say, it is a good idea to recycle them for another purpose, because they are usually expensive  |

The Canon ones look very "authentic" in the pictures. I've never seen one in reality.

For Canon aficionados, it has an EOS mount and Shake Reduction.
You make a milk shake in it, have a sip or two and, voila, the shake is reduced.

As already said, plenty on ebay, £10 to £30. Google and they extend to infinity. Try Amazon and search: www.amazon.co.uk |

Hey, Capn. James T Kirk, aka Berndt, will be jealous that have a Spock mug and not a Kirk mug.

Live long and prosper, MIK I once had a cup, whith a transporter on it. If you fill coffee in it, Kirk, Spock and Bones "beamed up" ... I mean, they slowly appeared at the transporter. Pretty fancy effect  And ... I once had the chance to meet Mr. Shatner in real, when he visited Germany ... actually only once in his life, I think. That has been a while ago, but he is still pretty active and looking good ... for a man, who will become 80 this year. I guess, he found the "fountain of youth" somewhere on his journeys "where no man has ever been before" ... and just does not tell us |
