I Love prime lenses - both the podcast and the actual lenses!
I’ve been listening for quite a while now and have worked my way through most of the episodes. Ian is a fantastic host with a genuine passion for all things photography. His enthusiasm really shines through and makes every episode engaging.
Thanks to this podcast, I’ve discovered new photographers, interesting cameras, and even some grassroots photo-sharing platforms I’d never heard of before.
Absolutely 10/10 – I can’t fault it. ... more

Undoubtedly the best photography podcast there is. What Iain has created here is truly addictive - the back catalogue is a treasure trove of meaningful discussion about real photograph, not the gear.
