Christmas Present from Neighbor / Friend

A friend and neighbor who knows I'm into photography wanted me to come over on Christmas Eve because she had a present she wanted to give me. When I got there, she handed me one of those bubble-wrap mailing bags with something in it. She wanted me to open it there (she wanted to see the look on my face).

When I opened the bag and peered in, I was initially stunned! (First picture). I thought "My Goodness, she is giving me a $1000 lens!". But then I pulled it out and realized it was not what I first thought. Still, it was a pretty cool gift!

I thought it was an actual 24-105 lens!

Turns out it was realistic looking coffee cup!

Nice. I have one of those, even if I shoot Nikon.
Merry Christmas

Nice! A friend of mine sent me one of those for Christmas last year. After I got my 6D with 24-105mm f/4L lens, I was truly amazed at how much the mug resembled the lens.
