The Nikon lenses are all being used: they couldnt spare the pieces for gimmicky lenses.

(that being said, the first person to get me a Nikon 70-200 VRII coffee mug will win a million internetz)

Pretty funky, but for that money I'd want a handle.

A friend used to have an oven for ceramics. I wonder if a ceramic version one of these lens-mugs could be made by hand. I know that it wouldn't fool anyone, but the novelty would be there. $40+ ? Pass. I read on the web somewhere that Canon was * giving away * one model of these at the Olympics (just this year!).
