**UPDATE: We have a winner of this great replica Nikon mug, check the end of the article for the details! What did I give away? One of these fantastic mugs, a must for any Nikon enthusiast. If you missed out this time round, you can get a little more info about the mug I gave away and where you can still buy one for yourself**
It had been a while so I thought it was time for another giveaway – and this one was great for all the Nikon lovers out there as the perfect novelty gift! Yep, this time round I had a replica Nikon 24-70 mug up for grabs, totally free.
Replica, Nikon 24-70 mug
Entry details can be found at the bottom of the article, if you want to skip down there. It’s all very simple to enter.
You might have seen these fun little novelty mugs on eBay, here but getting one from there is no fun as that requires paying for it! Much better to try your luck at getting one for nothing first I think you’ll agree…
Win this replica Nikon 24-70 mug
The mug itself is NOT made by Nikon and in no way affiliated with them so don’t expect the quality of a £/$1500 lens. It is plastic on the outside, with a thermos interior and a screw lid/lens cap with a rubber seal. A ‘mug/lens pouch’ is also included and the whole thing comes in a nice shiny Nikon-esq box. It hasn’t been used so I can’t comment how well it actually functions as travel mug or if it leaks(!), although personally for me it’s more about the novelty factor as a Nikon shooter than anything else.
And the lucky winner is….
I offered the mug to anyone, anywhere in the world and entry was simple. Reply to this article or re-tweet the competition including a link back here and my Twitter name @RichardpPhoto. There were quite a few entrants (I wonder if there would have been more or less if it was a Canon mug? lol) and the lucky one picked at random was:
Todd from Georgia, who’s website you can visit at tlhstudio.com .
So, well done Todd and a massive thank you to everyone who entered. Watch this space as they’ll be more giveaways in future. In the meantime, enjoy your new ‘lens’ Todd, just don’t get confused and pour coffee in the real thing lol
What a great competition. As someone who is a Nikon devotee and someone who urgently needs multiple cups of coffee a day to help me survive the hours I don’t have a camera in my hand I would love to be the lucky winner. Fingers crossed…
Oh how I would like to win this, since I am a Nikon user and love my coffee. A reusable cup gives me a discount at Starbucks
Hahaha, that’s an awesome mug!!!
Fantastic. That’d cover me whilst my 24-70 is in at Fixation getting repaired (darn sticking zoom mechanism!). And, as an additional bonus, it would allow me to space the new bag, I plan on getting next week, correctly for when my real lense IS back! Aaaw, gimme?
Even if you don’t that’s an awesome and generous give-away Mr Peters. Keep the pictures, advice and reviews coming.
This is cool. I’m a Canon shooter with a secret admiration for Nikon. This would be a conversation starter in our club for sure!
Ha ha ha, Even though I am a Canon user I would love to have one of this! Very nice for coffee or pencils.
Really like to win this, cause I am a coffee addict. And don’t have the budget for a real one.
I want one!
I love stuff like this, and I’m a Canon user!
I suppose even with a mug there’ll be people who engage in a holy war between whether or not you should use (coffee) filters.
Grandad would spin in his grave to see someone drinking from a nikon lens.
I’m making the coffee right now!
Man, I want this so bad!!!
Nice prize, thanks.
Hi Richard
Thanks for a chance to win this great giveaway. Love to have that by my side filled with coffee in the hide. with me 200-400!
cheers Roy
Cool mug. Can’t wait to take a picture with it, I mean of it!
ooh, such a cool item, my fingers are crossed
If I happen to win, could you please send me the details via email?
I love it!
Thanks for the giveaway, but does it leak light ?
This is absolutely, positively the funnest thing I have ever seen in my whole life! OK maybe not quite in my whole life but it’s up there with all the other major funnest things. And one can never have too many fun things, ‘specially if they are camera gadgets (isn’t a coffee mug a key part of everyone’s kit?)
Awesome Give-a-way Richard and just think they could cater for all the other styles of coffee drinkers too with a 50 1.4 short black, and a 70-200VR Guzzler (dunken donuts style). They could even expand from cofee into soups too with the 14-24 making a nice soup bowl I reckon
Thanks for running this
Wooa, really a fun one! Can’t imagine people face looking at someone drinking from that ^_^
Good day.
Sweet mug hope it holds liquid cause I want it!
Very cool mug. I guess this would be a good substitute, until I can afford the real lens.
Whotsis?
Coffee in a 2.8? Gimme, gimme, gimme!
Awesome never seen one of those before! I am entering my name into the hat!
Oh my god i love this mug!!!
oooo, I have seen the Canon ones and have just been waiting SOOO long for a Nikon one to come out – I would LOVE this
wow cool mug
There should be more like this one on market, they would be a nice gifts for all photographs!
Thanks Richard.
Great gift idea Richard,
would look good amongst my collection of oddities.
Best, P:)
The person behind these mugs is brilliant! Great way to tap into fanboy’s and enthusiasts alike!
I could definitely use this, there are two canon users on my left in my office (more on the upper floor), one of them regularly gets coffee for me. I cant wait to give him this mug!
Have a nice weekend.
Wow
Wonder if they do other models.
Not that this one isn’t great, it certainly is.
What a cool mug!
I would really love to have one; it’s such a cool mug!
Pretty cool mug. I haven’t seen these before. If I win it I’ll just have to remember not to pour the contents into my D90 while trying to fit it!
Nice!
How did you get hands on one of these so early? I was just reading about them today…
Awesome looking cup. If I win it, I have to make sure to keep the cup in the fridge and the real glass in the drybox. Not the other way around. haha!
Love Nikon… love coffee… what a great combination!
great contest. i’m not a big coffee drinker but I love Nikon and would like to win this contest.
Very cool. Not sure why I want one of these, but I do.
Great idea for a contest. These mugs look superb! Would be great to have my daily cuppa with this Nikon mug!
Team Nikon! I have two Nikon Slr’s love love love this! It would fit perfectly on my desk
Following @unorderedredial
way cool mug! i love it!
I have been following him with his photography for a bout 2 months now and let me tell you that me and some other people I know find it amazing. I really want to win this. I have never won anything in my life so It would be really cool if I won it.
As much as I love Starbucks Coffee, and Nikon I would love to get one of these amazing mugs. Thanks for the contest Richard!
I have heard rumors that it makes the coffe taste better.
It is a beautiful cup.
I’d love to see the looks on my friends’ faces when they see me drinking out of a lens.
Hey Hey!
Would love to win this! My wife officially geeked-out when she saw the Canon mug, and we’ve been waiting around for the nikon versions…
Would make an awesome birthday present… wink, wink…
