"this lens cap costs over $1000" Me: Obviously that's for a Leica then...
Same😂
Absolute fucking banger. Mythical youtube algorithm pull
real asf
so true
Right!?
No lowballers, I know what I’ve got.
6:11 That's a Salamander. Famously not a lizard.
of all the facts in this video, this is the one I least expected to get pulled up on.
@@graindead I love those little guys and they do come in exquisite colours.
Luckily, that makes it even less likely to be where the skin for the camera was from.
@@theothertonydutch they make great leatherettes, truth be told
I CAN'T BELIEVE I'VE ONLY JUST FOUND THAT JACK HAS A FILM PHOTOGRAPHY CHANNEL!!!
ikr me too
What do you mean? Does he have another channel?
@@edkraken7011 yeah he used to be part of a channel called Car Throttle and now he has his own channel called All the gear
These are not cameras. These are speculative assets that will never be touched by human skin.
now i HAVE to get one to shoot the rear light of an old car
@@ffll8427 go prove me wrong king
@@shApYT just missing 5 figures then i'll be good to go
WAIT THE CAR THROTTLE GUY HAS A CAMERA CHANNEL THIS IS THE BEST CROSSOVER EPISODE EVER I AM SO HAPPY
What did we do to deserve two videos in the same month? Love it
And then you have to buy film...
my favoutite person talking about my favourite hobby that i didnt even know he had a channel about. ty algo
hell yeah, The only Photography videos I actually look forward to watching.
As a petrolhead/film photographer, realising Jack had a film channel made me very happy!
Your writing paired with your narration, quips, humour and jests are great. I like how you string them together because it seriously keeps me engaged. Subscribed.
I love the idea of this camera being ordered over the phone. It's like Warhammer. Just when you thought it was already ludicrous apparently there's garnish upon garnish upon garnish to make it so absurdly incredible it's hard to even conceive.
Im so glad i gound this channel, Jack presenting camera related videos is amazing
I've got a photo of me holding a Red Flag 20, which was famously a copy of a Leica M4 put into production by Mao's wife. Under 200 ever made.
Ended up selling for over $100,000 NZD.
There was apparently 350 in gold and 250 in platinum.
You are criminally underrated and if you keep this up then I see nothing but massive success with these videos to come. More a victim of niche interests and luck of the algorithm.
Omg I am so happy I’ve found this channel! I had no idea you go also solo with this type of stuff. I am hooked!🔥🙌🏼
this is my new favorite camera channel. i've binged every one of your videos in the last 24 horus
Funny, just saw a catalog of an auction that has both the Gold Diamond and the Platinum edition. Starting price of 30k and 16k, respectively.
Hell yeah, love it bruv, keep it coming
Loving the striking backgrounds in your videos ❤
Regarding the Sultan of Brunei, the people are crazy loyal, and he actually pretty chill guy. He usually shows up buying food on stalls around the capital and visiting people randomly, just like his peers around the Southeast Asia. Free healthcare and Free Education and to some point, free electricity (The story is quite long lol)
By the way, I saw the whole camera goes on the Facebook Marketplace on my country (Next door to Brunei, Malaysia) for like 100k Ringgit full body with lens. A lot of Jawi Inscription alongside the Royal Seal. I shat myself.
How does Brunei make money? Whats their export?
ya.. just try not to be a women or gay.. oops here come the stones
@@Keckegenkai oil, natural gas on the side
isnt Bolkiah the same guy who tried to put in place legislation to make it possible to capitally punish people for being gay but then put a moratorium on it because everyone started boycotting hotel chains from Brunei?
@@jagwire8671 hmm my comment about how thats the case got deleted 🤔
Amazing sets mate, almost looks like you’re outside at some of the most random spots ever
Excellent video man!
“Every day of the year for 8 months”😂😂
great vid, would love to see more
More graindead content , yes fucking please chap !
Is the Sultan in need of any more friends? I would settle for a 50mm Notilux... black is fine! No need to gold plate it.
Thought I pressed on a grainydays video, and went crazy when jack was speaking.
the only film photog channel that still matters
Don’t you think the most expensive camera in the world would be the James Web Space Telescope at 9.5 Billion dollars??
Probably depends on whether you can theoretically detach its "body" from the telescope lens or not.
Your storytelling is insane!!🔥 great video
Nice work Jack!
cracking my knuckles and gearing up to sink a superyacht after watching this ty.
That must be the Sultan of Brunei.
Good one keep it up mate
Good shit man.
Came home from holiday and immediately showed my English dad this video and he couldn’t stop laughing
the goat is back, baby!!
Wasn't expecting jack from all of the gear/ct but here we are. I love this side project.
The algorithm was cooking with this one
Two videos in a single month? We're blessed!
Excellent ⭐️
Great content.
Awesome. The presentation style and (i’m guessing) script is spot on brilliant. How about some of this flex in your channel with Ethan? 👍🏼
A Leica only has the perception of quality, mostly because of the weight which is due it being cast in pot metal, the cheapest shit available for casting metal. If you think that Leicas are special, maybe I can interest you in some tulip bulbs.
great vid
this is mind blowing 🤯
im actually shocked how good this video was lmao, expect big views soon
I'm about to start 3d printing these caps then lol
Use the price match guarantee for a gold plated camera, price beat by 5%?
Leica: photography fetish-wear
Fuking best youtube channel
bruh, ain't you the guy on the car channel?
He is!
Reminds me of the Leica M6 Thai Gold edition.
1:11 actually that picture is from a rally Ferrari itself organized for enzo owners, that's not a brunei picture, they didn't have that many enzos. :) don't misinform people
you can take a picture with a house if you get a camera obscura room. for like 20 bucks.
Man your stuff is so fun, if you need help in production let me know!
So this is where he went
So much gold, it'll make my dad sweat profusely.
This seems like a safer item to counterfit than official currency.
Every lens cap is expensive, when you forget to take it off before shooting.
YOU ARE THE ex-car throttle GUY!! I knew you looked familiar
Compared to the price of the camera, 1000 is a steal!
2:16 made me lol. good content
5:58 I could probably do it myself in my garage, the biggest pain is the lens because how annoying they are to work with. But honestly I'd use titanium or another nice metal.
Didn't know apple made professional cameras and then some gear for them
I need one
Used sony NEX-5 with $500 tamron
How can it be his date of birth on the camera? 1996? He wouldnt even be 30 years old.
Must actually be the date of his 50th
ayyyo WTF, how am I finding jack's other channel
6:20 Wait, am I the only one who can’t figure out how they commemorate the 50th birthday of his majesty when his alleged birthday is on the 15th of July 1996?
that seems a little expensive...
wait… are you the guy from car throttle?
He has the same birthday as me 😂🎉
Wait... The birds actually play basketball?
Lets be honest you would have done the same when you have more money than you what to do with
wait weren't Leicas handmande?
did Leica handmade all those hundreds of cameras in time for the party???
Handmade is a very loose term.
He must have paid a shitload of money, so I assume they stopped the work on other commissions and produced only these.
Leica has about 2000 employees today, back then it was probably about half that. So you have maybe 300 to 400 people working in the production line making cameras. There are a few different model lines, so let‘s say you have 100 employees working on that model. I say they can make this order in a week or two. Just because it is handmade does not mean they do not have an efficient production plan in place.
@@terriplays1726 just a week or two??? man that would be insanely fast for such a suddenly huge jump in production, and with materials like gold, platinum and diamonds
@@Gmododo it’s gold plating … all components are just put into a bath before assembly. Leica probably had such baths from prior orders. The custom engravings might have been the most time consuming part, I don’t know if they were all made by hand.
This kind of quality video is what people want from youtube camera channell not japanese tourism video sponsored by some random camera vendor. by the way now i totally get it how those lens cap could get cost 1000USD though ill spend that kind of money to get some used leica lens instead like elmarit 4th generation 28mm 😜
For what it's worty the sultan of brunei has never actually been the richest man on the planet. Rich for sure, but richest? Not by a long shot
Dictator's choice.
The sultan is the worlds richest thief
