James Tocchio is the founder of Casual Photophile. For over a decade he has reviewed lenses and cameras and is a staple of photography on the internet. In addition to his love of lenses and photography he also enjoys videogames and motorcycles so if you’re a petrolhead you’ll likely get something out of this episode.

More about this show:

A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you’ll see them go misty eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small fast prime that they had in their youth. Prime Lenses is a series of interviews with photographers talking about their photography by way of three lenses that mean a lot to them. These can be interchangeable, attached to a camera, integrated into a gadget, I’m interested in the sometimes complex relationship we have with the tools we choose, why they can mean so much and how they make us feel.
