    <tongue in cheek> I'm highly disappointed in this review, Bryan. Although it's very detailed and highlights all of the important characteristics and features of the 70-200mm mug, one of the most beneficial features of your reviews is that you offer comparisons to other relevant products in the lineup. In this case, I see no mention of the previously-released Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L USM Coffee Cup, no capacity comparisons, ISO 4898 thermal insulation testing, nothing that will help me make an informed choice from the growing BDS lineup. </tongue in cheek>

    Now that I have the legit 70-200 f/4L IS I have to make sure not to pour hot coffee into it (*it is weather sealed, though*).

    Another great review. I will wait for the version with a larger aperture so as to be more effective under low light conditions and will have to do my own testing to determine if the infra-red focus indicator in fact is adequate enough to prevent possible temperature (e.g.)distortion.....

    Highly entertaining Bryan.


    I wonder if this is just a big ploy by Canon to force everyone into buying lenses with IS. By drinking all this coffee you'll surely be as shakey as a leaf and need an image stabilised lens to actually get a decent shot. Damn marketing gurus - they've done it again!!! [][][]

    Bryan, a great review!





    I am missing a through-the-focal-length coffee taste and temperature comparison. I guess they vary.
