Nikon 24-70mm Coffee Cup with Zooming Lens Barrel

September 29, 2010 By Eric Reagan

There’s a new version of the Nikon 24-70mm coffee cup that actually has a zooming lens barrel.  I thought the others with the selectable AF/MF and image stabilization switches were pretty slick, but this is something else.

These run $27.50 at 100milligrams.com.

They’ve also got a standard version and a couple of Canon lens mugs.
