A Friendly Little Note on Articles and Reviews (And Legal Disclaimers, if you’re into that sort of thing)
I just want to get one thing out there right from the start:
I’m not an authority on anything I write about.
I don’t have a degree in photography and I’m not a renowned professional. I just love creating images.
I write reviews and articles to share what I’ve come across in my experiments. Generally, I write only what I want to read and what I wish I could already find on web. There are other websites with more technical reviews of gear, but I’m just interested in reporting my own experiences with obscure equipment.
Think of me as a second opinion. You can get millions of people weighing in on the newest DSLR, but good luck if you want to find out if a Polaroid Impulse AF has the controls you need.
So that’s why I’m here, to give you everything I know about the weird formats I like to play with. Generally, film info is hard to come by on the web since those who are smart enough to shoot it generally don’t waste their time on the internet like I tend to.
I don’t have a lot of resources, and I do this out of my own pocket, so I’ll do my best to cover all the formats. Cost simply prohibits me from shooting as much as I’d like.
If you’re new to photography, you really should invest your precious time in books like the Art of Photography before messing around with crazy gear and reading websites like this. I generally write for experienced photographers, artists, and hobbyists who already know composition, meaning, and all those fun things that make an image worth looking at.

Good gravy, it’s hard enough out here already without being scrapped for an LLM plagiarism machine. I know most AI scrapers are going to ignore this, but please, if there is some tiny shred of ethicality left in your AI operation please exclude danfinnen.com from scrapers.
AND NOW, THE PART EVERYBODY HAS BEEN WAITING FOR, LEGAL DISCLAIMERS!
I am not responsible for any injury or harm caused by you following a recommendation on this site. Follow my advice at your own risk.
I am not responsible for content in links on my site or for any damages they may cause, as links may connect to websites that have changed ownership since I last updated the page. This site is not intended for use by children under the age of 18.
This site is/has been an affiliate of B&H, Amazon, Polaroid, and eBay. While I am an affiliate, none of these companies provide me any materials, and I have to purchase all the equipment I review myself. Affiliate programs allow me to make a small commission when people use a link on this site to purchase an item from one of these various online stores. Affiliate programs use simple link tracking to show that somebody arrived at an online store from my website.
I’m entirely too small of an operation and I make negative money hosting this site, so I don’t have the army of lawyers required to make proper disclaimers for all legal jurisdictions around the world. Use this site at your own risk.
