As someone who worked at Leica it is always cool to see other people adoring Leica.

Vintage cameras are excellent both to collect and use. I currently have a Hasselblad 500c built in 1966 that has been bulletproof. Ran a number of black and white rolls through it and will be shooting more colour film soon. Hope to get a Leica in the future.

There are platform where you can invest and they trade your money. Then pay you profit either weekly or monthly. That's investing.

It’s strange how people talk about all the profits, they have been making through trading of crypto, while am here making huge losses. Please can someone put me through on the right path or at least advise me on what strategy to follow.

Great content! Thanks for always putting up an informative video. Understanding the concept of crypto is of great importance. People think investing in crypto is all about buying coin and then allow it to rise. Come on! It takes much more analysis to become a successful crypto investor

Wow Kevin. I've been a fan for years. I've also been a pro photographer for decades. AND, I've grown to enjoy watch collecting too. 8 watches and counting! Needless to say I like what you do!

*I will forever be grateful atful to you 😇 you've changed my life I'll continue to preach about your name for the world to hear* *you've saved me from a huge financial debt with just little investment. Daisy Jackson is the best broker*

We have one of the original Kodak’s from my late uncle who was an avid collector and traveler. It’s got the coolest mechanisms and even a secret button. Really amazing stuff.

I have collected somewhat between 60 and 70 vintage analog cameras and a lot of lenses over the past years - no Leica rangefinders or Hasselblads, though. Today they are at least double, maybe even thrice worth of what I have paid for them, so to me, not a bad investment.

Crypto currency and NFTS will outsmart the banking system in the nearest future serving as a global fiat. Already making over 85% profit from my current investment🤑

Comfortably 10k, at a specialist auction probably $30-50k. There are a lot of people that want an M3 in their collection, and this is possibly a once in a lifetime chance to get one in perfect mint condition. No doubt that 2 wealthy collectors would go into an auction with an 'I'm buying this no matter what' attitude and the bidding would go mental.

Film cameras demand and prices after this video 📈💲

My 1948 Argus C3 to me is priceless! This camera has a prominent place in my display case, a simple common camera, inexpensive but built in Ann Arbor Michigan, where I was born in 1957, and my father was one of the electrical engineers who work on the camera for Argus Camera.

If you invested the same 400$ in 1950s in the SNP, it would be worth double the price of the LICA at 24k, at an estimated 6% annual compound rate. 🤔

That's pretty awesome that you had this! If you ever want some private photography lessons I'd love to help out. I live in Florida as well and specialize in portraiture.

Great content!

He should do a show called the wealthy hoarder...

Thank you for this interesting video on the M3. Could it be that this was a double stroke converted to a single stroke? Is there a way to tell if there was a conversion?

Would you dry continuously dry fire your .44 auto-mag? I sure hope not :) I hope to see this camera come up for auction one day. Don't let anybody play with it anymore

Would appreciate you talking more about cameras, it’s great for business.

Very cool video!

I bet the sporting goods store was Abercrombie and Fitch before it was a clothing store. They sold a lot of high end watches as well

Not many ppl forget they have a Leica

He had some credit on file hahah interesting paper trail

Love it.. I too have always had a fascination with photography - My current camera is a Cannon SX710HS. I used to have a nice Minolta 35mm ! Thanks bro! 😁

the strap lugs are new because the original ones were replaced

Happy Easter

This video further solidifies investing in leica cameras... looking at buying a 4th now 😆

Stocks and real estate are better investments. You have to get lucky to be sitting on something like this for so long

"you will be possessed by your possessions " Dr Malachi York

I have a AV1 Canon, still in working condition like a charm. I put a Japanese made battery in it in 1985 and still charged and looks brand new. ❤️❤️❤️🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵❤️❤️❤️

I love your videos! They're always so insightful and motivational. Thanks for sharing all of that wisdom with us :)

remembered Steve Jobs... “You gotta see this in person. This is beyond the doubt, the most precise thing, and one of the most beautiful we've ever made. Glass on the front and back, and steel around the sides. It's like a beautiful old Leica camera.”07-Jun-2010... Didn't event know what a Leica was back then...

4:02 clearly shows some sort of damage on the black material just right under the lens ring - granted it had the black seal. Strange

Hey Kevin do you know by 2045 we will be producing 40 % less food and by 2050 90 % of our agricultural land will be UNCULTIVABLE!!!!!!😢😢😢. Support us @ #SaveSoil movement to create awareness of this mounting ecological disaster.

Thank you, Kevin! Appreciate your time and advice!

Again playing the game of trying to predict what someone else will find valuable later. I worry these are overvalued as everyone scrambles to offload USD into things they assume will retain or gain value.

$500 in 1960 put into the BOC inflation calculator is just shy of $5,000.

I have a Voighandler VITO II and would like to sell it. What is your suggestion?

Everytime you flip that shutter your devaluing it. If your not going to shoot with it

Shame on you both [Josh should know better!] for not wearing cotton gloves when handling the camera & paperwork! And, Kevin, store the Leitz paperwork in ARCHIVAL envelopes NOT Ziplock bags!

his advice is “FIRE”

A wonderful and valuable find! Any chance to auction it for the benefit of war photographers? In sense of Lux et Veritas.

I seee the trend of polaroids coming back … maybe we content creators will soon have to ditch our expensive cameras 😂😜

Less apreciation than the inflation in the period. I don't see as a good investment for now. Maybe in a few decades. A COOL investment? Fore sure!

I love my Leica Q2

Oh man.. Pls don't muck up the camera market too.. 🙈🙈🙈

Mr.wonderful love Miami

Leica is legendary like a Patek!

Analog better than digital in photography and in music.

I am the SALAMANDER 🔮🔮🔮🔮🔮🔮🔮🔮🔮🐲

Good investment

Wear gloves maybe?

It depends...

$15,000 for something you can never use and enjoy. What a shame..

Good Job.

Nice video really interesting

So basically if one doesn't have unused camera and all the paper work, which would be the case for most, it basically just works out to inflation level pricing.

Do I keep the Canon AE1 Program I bought for myself at Christmas my first year out of school? I even have the original box, owners manual and bill of sale.

Buying russian cameras by a professional (American) photographer? You must be joking and being probably out of your mind. I do not believe you have ever put a Kodak Tri-X in a: Lubitel, Zorki, Fed, Smena, Start, Zenit, Horizon, Kiev, Sport, Chaika, KMZ. I bet you do not know the Wolga and the Lada.are cars. We drove a black Oldsmobile in The Netherlands in 1955 and have always used cameras made in Germmany, Sweden and Switserland. Cameras made in Germany, Belgium, England, Switserland and Sweden. Optical industries can be found all over Germany from Görlitz, Rathenow, Jena, Wetzlar, Keuznach to Munich. Films were made in Germany, Belgium, England, France, Italy and U.S.A. The Iron Curtain was always closed. In the mid Sixties Japan woke up: Camera, lens nd film Do not put too much tupperware in your talks.. Try to make a 2 x 3 m print of a Tri-X film exposed from your Leica, like mr Sawada did; that will show the value of a Leica.

Was not is ;) We live in 2024 back than 2023. Leica m3 is evenement... for myself i want to buy in working order. im gonna scratch it etc But this is opinion of mine and heh ... what can i said, this was mede for work. I wish to own latest film leica.

Handling this item without gloves, it does not look professional

Are Vintage Cameras Good ASSETS To Own? I know next to nothing about cameras, but that won't stop me pontificating. It would be like investing in vintage telephones. They are technology-based, and so by definition, are demonstrably worse as the years pass. You could argue that cars are similar, but they are not, because of the sex appeal. Old computers would be a more reasonable proxy. Sooooo.... no.

Sir, you obviously don't need thirty thousand for that camera. Thirty photos done right by you could be sold for 300,000 dollars. If I were your I'd leave that store with a case of film load that baby up and USE it! What a waste of a good camera if you don't put 5 thousand frame through it. You deserve it. Live

Mint a NFT with the M3 camera!!!

10-12 grand !! You better be starting more in the 20-25000 range. Because this thing, in this condition is like finding a unicorn in the wild. Just the box and all of the paper work has got to be worth over 3 grand ! In this condition

the rich never have to sell something, they are rich

Interesting video, but "Mr Wonderful"... really?

So in 1960, the purchasing power of $400 is about $4,000. So in 60 years the camera has technically increased in value 3 times. I'd rather bet on a Pokemon card from the 90's. Or just buy Bitcoin.

even I have better things, but I am not into cameras. 12k for a rich guy, well that'his toilet paper probably thicker than mine, but he acts like a kid when its jus t a penny for him. Disgusting how they treat poor people, making a big deal out of something that is not for him. Sure not.

I have a "Korona View Gundlach Folding Wood Camera" in a very good condition :)

Mr. Wonderful “Leica” making money on a classic camera.

Don’t like the new intro.

Ohh another garage queen. Unused for 60 plus years.

Leica’s should be used, not put in a display case or a safe

Great history

Yow

In a word. No

A well rehearsed piece of theatre, but Mr. Wonderful is a very poor actor. Suffice it to say that Leica Miami has an unused 1960 Leica M3 set on offer and wants to get as much money as possible for it. The whole comedy around this is very lame.
