35mm Film USB Stick Modernizes Retro Photographic Equipment

I certainly agree with New Focus, the creators of these 35mm Film USB, on the irony of the product.

The 35mm Film USB stick brings camera film into the digital age. You know, camera film? The thing that used to hold all your photos and was the way everyone got them printed? This product combines the best of both worlds by having a very retro look with modern capabilities. The 35mm Film USB is made from re-purposed canisters, so it's got that eco personality for the environmentally conscious. So if you're feeling nostalgic about traditional camera equipment before SD cards took over, these are for you.

Each of these 35mm Film USB sticks can be purhased at the New Focus Etsy page. You can purchase these gadgets in either 2GB or 4GB capacities.
