I bought for fun and I am having fun...

Like many others, I am a photography enthusiast. I came across this item when I saw it in a colleague. I ordered it straight away without thinking much and so far I am enjoying it a lot.

I have the real 24-105 lens so I can say that it is the exact replicate apart from the AF/MF and Image stabilizer buttons (not moving in this one) The manual focus and zoom circles are good rubber replicates that offer a good grasping area. This is important especially when considering this mug has no handle. The most important feature for me is the steel interior. I am picky about what hot liquids touch and simple plastic can leak lots of chemicals so steel is a confidence. If you do not use the lid you can drink your stuff without getting it in touch with any plastic.

I think for the price it does not have a great thermos, but it is much better then regular porcelain or glass mugs as well. It doesn't feel hot to touch no matter how hot your coffee is and so we can say it does adequate insulation if not perfect.

The most problematic part is the narrow bottom. I know this is so for being an exact replicate but if you are not drinking it on a table or some sort of secured place you may tip it over easily. Additionally, it has been 2 weeks and yet the plastic smell from the external elements have not vanished completely. It might be the ruber rings or the plastic itself, I am not sure but still not funny. It does not say anything but I am sure it is dishwasher safe, however I do not trust the paint of the exterior so much so I wash it in hand without too much heat.

Overall, it is something you buy for fun and it is fun. Anyone who is interested in photography would like to have one as the cheapest 'lens' in their collection...

Research the SELLER FEEDBACK
by ArizonaCardinals (5 out of 5 stars)
February 1, 2013

I chose my Seller based off all of the feedback that I read and the reviews as they are clearly mixed. Obviously there are some bad sellers with imitations having the wrong labeling, cheap plastic dollar store style imitators vs. the one you see in the advertisement. Be very careful which seller you purchase this from. I just got mine today and it came in perfect condition and it does say "CANON" not "Cannon" or "Canaim" for those of you whom perhaps got the cheap knockoff. If you are wanting to get a better one, My seller was a company identified as (UNIQSTORE). After reading many comments it is suggested to not buy from a seller called something like (liu coco?) as it appears they are horrible knock offs. I tested my mug today with both cold and warm beverages (I recommend you do the same PRIOR to posting a comment in here to know for sure). Also I checked to see if the stainless liner was faulty or showing imperfections of becoming vunerable to seperation losing the seal from the plastic body, and the lid works like it should and seals good has a sip spout and it seems to pass my QA test. The logo and details are amazingly good. To anyone whom thinks these are real lenses converted to a coffee cup you need to put your head back in the sand as I can't believe I actually read several buyers with remorse due to that in a couple reviews. The only bad side for my purchase was it was ordered on January 3rd, and it took a month to get here. Most likely it is because of the little China man in a row boat coming across the Pacific (HaHa). Overall it was a well worth wait. Remember... research the sellers feedback and I hope my advice helps. I know to some it's more effort to make a big deal for $13.00 plus shipping, but the small amount of money spent is not the point it's the item recieved as described and that is the principle. We as consumers have an obligation to help Weed out the misleading sellers on Amazon.

The Little Cup That Could
by Jaydee Faire (4 out of 5 stars)
March 3, 2015

All in all, I am extremely satisfied with this product and am drinking coffee out of it right now. The breakdown:

It is sturdy and the lid screws on tight, but there is no rubber seal, so don't count on it being spill proof if you're wearing your wedding dress.

The lid that arrived with my cup is different from the "lens" lid pictured. The lid that I received is a traditional travel mug lid, with a wider lip at one end for drinking, and a little door that snaps back and forth over the drinking hole. Again, this is to keep bugs and dirt out of your coffee, NOT to make it leak or spill proof.

It insulates your hand from the hot liquid inside the cup. Whether it KEEPS that liquid hot over a long period of time remains to be seen, but it's a small cup. Drink your coffee.

The cup itself is weighty in the hand and made out of sturdy plastic, with what I think is aluminum on the inside. DO NOT HEAT THIS CUP IN THE MICROWAVE, but we have run this type of mug through the top rack of the dishwasher several times and it was fine.

I have dropped this type of cup onto the pavement before and it came out fine, but probably don't drop it off the top of the Empire State Building.

The cup that I received does NOT say "canon" on it, it says "caniam." I honestly don't care because it still looks like a camera lens. If you are carrying this cup and someone makes fun of you because it doesn't have the name of a famous camera company on it, simply unscrew the lid of the cup and splash boiling hot coffee in that person's face.

This cup comes in a cute little box and makes a great end of year gift for Photography teachers or people who like cameras, or, if you're like me, people who like things that look like other things.

Such a unique gift
by Becky Spargo (4 out of 5 stars)
February 13, 2014

I bought this travel coffee mug for my grandpa this past Christmas. He's really into photography, and I thought it would be funny since he always talks about how he wants this lens and that lens--not to mention that he also loves coffee. When I first got it, I had already known that it did not say Canon on the lens, which is what some of the other reviews complained about. I was really impressed with how this was one of the few products that had a thermos drinking lid and the quality of the stainless steel was pretty decent. My only complain that it's sorta annoying to actually screw the lid back on. The grooves in the cup take awhile to match up with the grooves in the lid, and if you're in a rush, it will take awhile to screw it back on. It takes a lot of time and patience to get the lid on. Overall, I love this product, and I know that my grandpa loves it too.

Did some tests
by Peach (4 out of 5 stars)

Like a few other reviewers have previously stated, the cup I too received does say CANAIM on it instead of CANON, which if it were to say CANON I would think there would be some copyright issues going on, no? Either way, it still looks quite awesome.

The sip lid is a bit stiff, and when shut after sipping, it can flick liquid specks onto your face or into the air and on surrounding things.. So close it slowly.

True to color, and the details on the sides are of quality. Switches on sides do not move back and forth though.

Filled it with water and did a leaking test the first day I received it. There is a hole on the sip lid and it does leak liquids when it is upside down and shakened. It leaked very, very slowly when just left upside down with no shaking movements, so that's a plus.

I'd recommend this, it's a sturdy cup! Wish it was bigger though, but it's capable of holding a medium sized coffee drink from most coffee businesses. Good for cutting back on caffeine ;-)

The best conversation starter for photography fiends!
by Gabby Tess (5 out of 5 stars)

I am absolutely infatuated with this lens mug. It's a fantastic. It's super realistic looking (I've gotten many questionable stares, questions, and confused folks coming up to me). I've purchased a few of these as gifts, and it's truly the perfect secret santa/white elephant present on earth. The price is fantastic.

The only possible cons are that it doesn't keep your drink warm for very long, unfortunately. For me, it keeps it warm for a perfect amount of time [just long enough for the drink to cool down enough for me to drink it all]. It's also the perfect size/capacity.

Worthy of An Academy Award for Best Coffee Mug
by PositiveLogic (5 out of 5 stars)
January 15, 2015

This has to be one of the most imaginative ideas to come along. You know when you go to the Hallmark store or some other cheesy gift store and you find a lot of neat things, you're not gonna find anything remotely as brilliant as these lens replica coffee mugs.

I suppose you have to be a photography or film buff to appreciate these. But even if you're not into that sort of thing, these are just need to have.

And oh yeah, they serve the purpose well. You pour your Coffee in and drink it. There's not anything impeding the enjoyment of your coffee and in fact if you're somewhere in public with these, you're bound to attract attention and perhaps some comments... Which can be cool or annoying depending on what mood you're in.

Oh yeah, and another thing... Of course you have to hand wash these. What a pain!

Camera "Lens" Coffee Mug a big success
by lighthouse (5 out of 5 stars)

Great product that combines my morning cup of coffee with my passion for photography. The product appears to be well built with a stainless steel liner and decorative plastic (the lens motif) overlay. It is insulated sufficiently that it is not uncomfortable or difficult to hold (some stainless mugs and mug liners transmit exceptionally high levels of heat) and still keeps the coffee at acceptable temperatures for a couple hours.

My only problem was the wait time. This item shipped directly from Singapore and while it arrived within the promised dates, I am used (spoiled) to Amazon orders arriving well ahead of the promised dates. The month of waiting was a little nerve-wracking as I ordered and received other items while waiting for this one to arrive. But then, I am not a patient person.

Overall it's exactly what I expected and I look forward to enjoying my morning coffee served up hot in my "camera lens."

It's an ok mug but...
by Tudor Popescu (3 out of 5 stars)
July 13, 2013

quality is not great! In pictures on the site looks great but once I got it I was disappointed ( maybe because I own the real canon lens too??)

piece of advice: if you look online and the pictures of the mug are hiding carefully the main logo... it is not the real thing.

on the mug it is printed: canian instead of canon but you don't see that in the pictures only when you hold it in your hands.

the title suggests that the mug is thermos type but it is not - it will not hold temperatures more than a regular ceramic mug and if you put something hot inside you'll need a sleeve to hold it.

the printing on the side of mug (logo, numbers, etc.) start fading out after two washes (manual washes, not machine)

Pros:
- probably the only mug with a drinking lid that's a very nice addition and very convenient

bottom line: if you really need a drinking lid, this would be the mug to buy otherwise look for something else that at least show the logo in the picture online.

Meh ..
by Resident Skeptic (2 out of 5 stars)

Cheaply constructed with no finesse and possibly worth 1/4 the money, if that. The "Caniam" is deceptively similar to the Canon logo, but the construction quality leaves plenty to desire. Better coffee mugs can be bought at the price I paid, and beyond the first couple minutes of excitement, the article has no redeeming value. Luckily, I bought it as a gag gift for my brother who is expecting a real lens (which I also bought, as I am not a complete idiot), and I expect the full realization of the eight dollars and fifty cents watching his expressions as he would incredulously assess this "lens". After that, probably he is going to use it as a desktop pen holder, or water his plants.

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Cheap and looks it. I do not expect it to be a working coffee cup at all.
