There has never been a photographer who hasn’t asked or been asked:

So what camera do you use, and what kind of lens?

Yet there’s never been a sculptor asked:

So what chisel do your use, and what kind of hammer?

This is the first and obvious difference. As a principal it means that often what we know first is the major parameter that distinguishes one from another. Often, but not always. That what you know about a company is what you first know about them.
