Yeah

I want a Nikon mug but I bet it will come out much later in a smaller version (Variable Roast II) and not have a handle, be more expensive and not take filters (filtered coffee). I am sure to buy one all the same. PS Canon will probably make an adapter handle that Canon users can use on the Nikon mug. :D

I'll check with them on the prize part, but in the meantime, we are thinking of ordering a few, and there are quantity discounts: 5 x 70-200 costs US$220, which is a slight saving.

Anyone interested? I want definites, though, as we'll be placing an order very soon.

I would be more keen on the 24-105 but then I know that the 70-200 would give me less distortion and better bokeh... :mrgreen:

Does it have a lens mount though? This would potentially allow you to drink your camera, then take the lens off to clean it, replace the cap, quietly put the real one back on and take some pictures....

I bought a 70-200 one from Ebay for $48 AUD. I love it....... makes drinking endless cups of tea at work worthwhile

Do you know that these are available at the museum of contemporary art at Circular Quay. I went to the Annie Leibovits exhibition and they were there at the shop.

Leigh has one, actually. Courtesy of Canon Oz.

It was a little disappointing. Didn't seem to be of as high build quality as the Nikon equivalent, the focus ring is very stiff, and optically, it's very slow. About f/1 trillion.
