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'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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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?
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 😜
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 lens cap costs over $1000" Me: Obviously that's for a Leica then...
Same😂
true
Absolute fucking banger. Mythical youtube algorithm pull
real asf
so true
Right!?
it's 3 am and youtube algorithm just knows whats up
No lowballers, I know what I’ve got.
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
As a petrolhead/film photographer, realising Jack had a film channel made me very happy!
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
WAIT THE CAR THROTTLE GUY HAS A CAMERA CHANNEL THIS IS THE BEST CROSSOVER EPISODE EVER I AM SO HAPPY
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
@@pezz1232 OH HES ONE OF THE CAR THROTTLE GUYS WHAAAAAATTT. I'm truly faceblind
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.
What did we do to deserve two videos in the same month? Love it
I can see myself complaining about the price of film while shooting a platinum Leica

hell yeah, The only Photography videos I actually look forward to watching.
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.
Well its not a camara its a telescope Wich is a lens
Im so glad i gound this channel, Jack presenting camera related videos is amazing
cracking my knuckles and gearing up to sink a superyacht after watching this ty.
the only film photog channel that still matters
That must be the Sultan of Brunei.
There was apparently 350 in gold and 250 in platinum.
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!🔥🙌🏼
im actually shocked how good this video was lmao, expect big views soon
Thought I pressed on a grainydays video, and went crazy when jack was speaking.
Amazing sets mate, almost looks like you’re outside at some of the most random spots ever
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.
bruh, ain't you the guy on the car channel?
He is!
Wasn't expecting jack from all of the gear/ct but here we are. I love this side project.
The chaos! THe maddening Chaos. It calls to me, yet you help me cope. THe sultan can never have my cameras. That's all that matters. Subbed

How does Brunei make money? Whats their export?
ya.. just try not to be a women or gay.. oops here come the stones

@@jagwire8671 hmm my comment about how thats the case got deleted 🤔
this is my new favorite camera channel. i've binged every one of your videos in the last 24 horus
Reminds me of the Leica M6 Thai Gold edition.
More graindead content , yes fucking please chap !
Nice work Jack!
the goat is back, baby!!
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.
Your storytelling is insane!!🔥 great video
Two videos in a single month? We're blessed!
Excellent video man!
Leica: photography fetish-wear
I'm about to start 3d printing these caps then lol
Hell yeah, love it bruv, keep it coming
great vid, would love to see more
8:27 that Stanley Kubrick's basement comment :)
"Can't take a photo with a house can you." Oh yes I can......
Compared to the price of the camera, 1000 is a steal!
This seems like a safer item to counterfit than official currency.
Came home from holiday and immediately showed my English dad this video and he couldn’t stop laughing
you can take a picture with a house if you get a camera obscura room. for like 20 bucks.
Loving the striking backgrounds in your videos ❤
The algorithm was cooking with this one
So much gold, it'll make my dad sweat profusely.
Fuking best youtube channel
Awesome. The presentation style and (i’m guessing) script is spot on brilliant. How about some of this flex in your channel with Ethan? 👍🏼
Good shit man.
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.
this is mind blowing 🤯
Use the price match guarantee for a gold plated camera, price beat by 5%?
Man your stuff is so fun, if you need help in production let me know!
YOU ARE THE ex-car throttle GUY!! I knew you looked familiar
geez louise
So this is where he went
2:16 made me lol. good content
is this the car throttle guy
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
Every lens cap is expensive, when you forget to take it off before shooting.
u earned a sub
Excellent ⭐️
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

Didn't know apple made professional cameras and then some gear for them
Sounds poor why didn't he choose hasselblad?
If you got the money to buy one of those cameras, you probably have the money to order a new one from Leica.
Great content.
I need one
ayyyo WTF, how am I finding jack's other channel
great vid
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?

He has the same birthday as me 😂🎉
Lets be honest you would have done the same when you have more money than you what to do with
Wait... The birds actually play basketball?
How do I befriend the Sultan of Brunei
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.

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
I have a Leica lens cap on one of my cameras. Sad to say, it is a fake.
Dictator's choice.
The sultan is the worlds richest thief
