In the end, for me, it comes down to cost. I can swing a brand new MX-5 but even a used Boxster in my area is significantly more expensive, and a new one is not even something I think about. The MX-5 isn't the best car but she is one hell of a lot of "bang for your buck" for the common man wanting a convertible sports car that isn't too old.

Juat the brand is enough for me :))

Gave my 911 to my brother as I got the GR. Perfect car, no bullshit, no brand praising, no need for high speed, no massive bills doing service or customization, only downside is the sound. GR every day. Cheers from Germany.

After I edited almost 3k iPhone photos, you say the true - 4:34 Photographers recommend 35mm for the start but I think 35mm should be used as ultra wide lens (20mm and less) because it is still wide angle. Ultra wide lens should be used for buildings, swag portraits (from down perspective) or generally putting some swag into the photo. I've seen tones of photos from POV's videos and 85mm looks cinematic, 50mm is a kind of balance but sometimes it doesn't look natural and don't know why. 120mm starts to become more popular lens. I've seen for example on North Borders channel. Most of his photos on last videos are taken by 100mm~ Bigger mm gives a something mysterious, deep effect, you see the one object that is interesting. I never used true camera but I compare it to zoom in iPhones 1x 24mm 2x 48mm (I call it 50mm) 3x 77mm (85mm) 5x 120mm Photographers say" buy a normal camera". They are right but from my 3k photos I can find maybe 200 or more that really looks like they were taken by 5000$ camera. I noticed the only difference between normal camera and iPhone is: - objects has slightly different look on iPhone (48mm) and camera (50mm). - there is a deep effect - more details on people's faces. That's all from me. Amazing video man!

By far the best X2D review I've seen; clear, concise, and right on point. I'm on X1D II and looking forward to upgrading, this really helped. Thank you.

I've been digging the ULTRA wide angle lenses with cars lately. Especially when they're very crispy and sharp

The only thing why I would want this over my M11 is the AF.

Forgive me if I’ve missed it, but I didn’t see where you told us what you ‘don’t love’ about the X2D.

Im all for higher mp. I dont need video features or fancy autofocus. Im making the biggest jump today in my image quality. Juat got a sony a7r iv. Cant wait till fullframe reaches 100mp

NOPE! 24-105 is much more versatile.

Also looking to get a Hasselblad for the colours. By far the best. I’m getting the 907x first version used to use with my 500cm I’ve shot for decades

As I don't have garage, will that be hurting the softtop if staying outdoor?

great video - thinking of buying a similar model - maybe a little newer - I'll line up specialists and do some up front planning on maintenance.

I'm 32 for now, coming up on 33 soon, and I've been looking at getting a used Macan Turbo or a Boxter. I really want the auto so my wife can drive it in an emergency. But I want a manual and I can just teach her to drive it - in case of emergencies. But after watching your other video about this car, I'm leaning more toward a Boxter or Cayman. Thanks for your content Peter.

Very fine tips Peter. Thank you. In the late '90s I was working for a company in Hollywood, USA, that prepped vehicles for film and print, mostly ads. One of my first days at work they brought me the next year's non-convertable Mercedes-Benz and a reciprocating saw as they wanted a shot similar to yours at 13:35 of this video. LOL!

Great video, I'm watching this because I have the RF24-105, I then added the EF70-200II, now I'm thinking the 24-105 doesn't quite do enough, that faster aperture of the 24-70 would be so much more useful that going to 105 since I have that, and more, covered by the 70-200. The 105 has been a fantastic lense and I would highly recommended it to someone picking up a camera and a single lense as part of a kit, but like you said, when you add to your collection, even just a little bit, the 24-70 just starts to make much more sense very quickly. And an edit just to say you gained a subsciber. Really nicely put together video with great images 👍

Great install video. I am considering the newer wheel as well. But my concern is with airbag unit, if it same or similar to OE Porsche airbag.

Thank you for sharing. I could not help but laugh with you subtracting the costs of things to make your cost list. I have done that. My father used to say, "no, no, no, you cannot say it didn't really need it but I got it done and didn't count it." He told me that what I believe it needed and spent the money to change all count on the cost factor- sum of all the parts make it what it is now, thinking.

Hi Peter, I’ve been subscribing to your videos for a little while for the car aspect (I have a 2013 981 Boxster and it was bought at a similar time to yours, I’ve also followed your midlife philosophical videos as I also completely changed my life to follow my dreams… coincidence I’m the same age, and made a change to follow my dreams, farming in my case in the macedon ranges). Anyway, my experience with a camera is an I phone. I feel I’d like to try something a bit more adventurous, I.e a real camera What would you recommend as a beginner camera for $500 to $750 etc if there is such a thing. Advice appreciated.

Great vid. Loved many aspects of your presentation. I could certainly "feel" your journey. My path was similar but different: a 2002 Corvette, a 2008 Corvette, and a 2015 Corvette Stingray with the Z51 package. All wonderful vehicles from the glory days of Corvette racing here in the States. Traded the 2015 in 2023 for a BMW X5 M60i. I thought that I, at age 75, had moved past two seater sports cars. Wrong. By December of last year, and with the Porsche Boxer high on my list of possibles, my BMW Z4 M40i arrived. Great car with performance metrics equal to the 2015 Stingray, only quicker, more agile, and all the while feeling more planted. Love the Z4 M40i. Aint life grand to have such wonderful vehicles available.

Hi Peter, Just watching your video, and suggest a couple of tips for you. Members of an authorized Porsche club receive discounts from Porsche dealers for servicing, parts and merchandise, and genuine Porsche parts have a 2 year warranty. Also, "OEM" does not mean "genuine". Your membership card also works at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart. Regards, from Perth

Nice work! I learned a lot of new information! You’ve probably forgotten more about car photography than I’ll ever know 😂 well done. This one’s going the distance, my friend.

Great video. Not like any other review out there. Well done sir!

Another wonderfully thoughtful and well-informed video filled with tips. Much appreciated. Liking forward to taking the 135 f/1.8 out this week

Love how you celebrate all your passions In your videos! 👍🏾

Great Advice Peter

Hey Peter. Great video. Very good tips and tricks. Cpl is an excellent idea. Love the boxster side shot with the road in the foreground. Very cool! Also the row of trees with the car in the middle.

2024 Carrrera s is the best car for its price . Optioned out to $165000 as a manual transmission car with is the only kind of sport car I would buy . So please find me another that I can compare with

Although this vid is car related, the tips are transferable for sure . Great !

I have a PDK 992 and a 6MT 982 in the garage and 9 out of 10 times reach for the Cayman keys over the 911 unless I’m taking it to a track day. The Cayman is just more enjoyable on public roads; largely because of the manual transmission, but also because of the size and feel. The 911 on the other hand is unbelievably good on the track, but I still often choose the Cayman for track days since it asks more out of me as a driver.

I’ve had Porsche guys drive my GR86 on Sonoma raceway and they said it’s almost the same just a bit slower in the straights

Thanks Peter, will give these a try. I for one am glad you made it down safely! 😊 Any tips on shooting cars at a car show, when they are parked close together?

Fabulous insights, many thanks...

Another great video Peter. You inspire me to try harder with my car photography. I have no excuses now I have a close clone of your car to practise on !

Enjoyable masterclass Peter video full of useful information and ways to approach shooting for the best results loved it mate 👍

Great video, very useful. Planning a shoot of a mate's Cobra with a D850 and 70-200mm lens. Thanks Peter.

I just received my copy of this lens a couple of days ago. It performs very well. A really nice surprise is that not only does Lightroom have a correction file, Adobe has released a version 2 of their correction file. As for low light, I am looking forward to trying this lens out inside with low light. One thing that I find helps with cranking up the ISO is to turn off the viewfinder preview, and then rely on your metering. The autofocus locks on really well, even with lower lighting levels.

Great video

One of the worst thing I ever did was to play with an X2D, love at first click I'm stuck with my larger format Fujifilm's but the experiance with one of those compared to a modern mirrorless R5 is so tactile and evocative.

Hi Peter, question here - my steering wheel has the sport and sport plus light indicator - by changing the wheel - Doesn't the fact that the new steering wheel doesn't have Sport and Sport Plus LEDs cause errors in the electronic system, instrument panel and in obd2 diagnostic?

watched this again and it still totally resonates, one day Peter and would love to shake your hand 👍

just watched a video from garagetimeautoresto and thought of Mr Fritz. It’s about a toyota and older 911 and the joys of NOT chasing the latest drag strip times and bar bragging rights. A kind of maturity position although i’m not sure that’s how the poster intended it. Anyway, i recommended he watch your content as it’s touched my heart as does your content. Keep it coming, it makes a difference and changes lives ❤

Sending love from South Africa.

Which is better Fujifilm GFX 100S II vs x2d?

Why is this system better than Sony A7RV and G master lens ?

really cool to see your shots of cars back in the day! Really like how cars got marketed back then. Still really want a mamiya 645 1000s

Why didn't you chose the fujifilm gfx 100

i've just brought the M3 for my first camera, love it
