Yes, you may have read the big news that Canon created, released, and gave away these very rare mugs/thermoses at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. The mug is a replica of a Canon 70-200mm f/4 IS lens which begs to ask two questions
1.) Does the f/2.8 version keep your coffee hotter longer?
2.) Are we going to see a rise in coffee mug theft (that looks real)
These sought after collectables are no longer available but according to CanonRumors.com, they will soon be selling in Canada for approximately $30. No word yet of a US release.
Website where mug was once posted for sale
BONUS UPDATE: CurrentPhotographer is reporting that Canon Canada is now giving away the travel mug with a $200+ eStore purchase. All great for Canada but how about for those of us south of the border.

I shoot Nikon, and I don’t drink coffee… this is still cool, and I would buy one!
I just saw yesterday on the Vistek (Canada) website that they have already sold out of said thermos. Apparently they had a few but they sold quickly.
I want one. I don’t live in Canada or USA, but I still one one. I’d be much cooler than those Nikon shooters with my own lens mug.
Should give one free to all CPS members. Finally something worthwhile in the membership packet besides shipping labels.
