A few days ago, these guys from DigitalRev TV were shooting a scene for one of their reviews for the Canon 300mm f4L lens when the host, Kai, handed the lens mounted on a camera, to their intern. The next thing he knew, the intern lost his grip and the lens dropped to the pavement. I can only imagine the shock that must have caused everyone on the team. They sent it promptly to Canon but Canon simply said that there was nothing they could do.
So, like any gear-head out there, they rigged it into the world’s first and only lens cup made out of a real lens body. They have it on auction now on eBay with the proceeds going to charity. Go check it out.
Features include:
- Made from 100% authentic Canon lens by Kai W of DigitalRev TV.
- Extendable in-built hood for reducing flaring and improving contrast of your drinks.
- EOS mount. Attaches to any of the Canon EOS SLR or DSLRs.
- Tripod mount. It can be mounted to a tripod for easy hands-free consumption of drinks.
- Manual-focus override, which is totally useless as the Autofocus doesn’t work.
- Did have UD elements for preventing aberrations.
- Ultrasonic motor (not working) for stirred not shaken beverages.
- Comes with official Canon protective carrying case and original packaging.
- Signed by Kai & Lok (from DigitalRev TV), although please state if you wish to have your lens cup scribble-free.
