Look! Zoom Lens Coffee Mug

This is the perfect mug to start out your days, if you are a photography buff. This coffee mug looks like it's made out of a zoom lens. It's hard not to like this mug, even though it's still a concept at this stage. Making one yourself would be very expensive, but maybe if enough buzz is created, a cheap version will see the light of production.

I chased this particular image all the way to its source, and it's not a prototype at all. It's a photo manipulation. A cool idea, but don't go fooling yourself into thinking it's a real object.

I know that it's photoshopped, but if someone wants to try it, don't use the pictured $1k camera lens.

Rats! This would be the perfect gift for a photo hound... as well as a good way to reuse camera parts that are broken or obsolete.

I love photography and think this is a brilliant idea. I would defiantly have to buy one of these if they ever sold them. My husband works for a promotional mug company so maybe I could ask him about getting one of these made lol.
