About the only thing I've bought in a junkstore is a bad dose of woodworm...

At point 4:36 he claims he later found out what camera it was, yet he was willing to spend a good chunk of change by thrift store standards for an unknown quantity camera..
and earlier said he bought a battery and charger for it (kind of hard to do if you don't know what camera model you have) and a cheapo M mount lens from online sites.
Kind of a tall tale if you ask me.

As far as I can remember, my best thrift shop find was a Spotmatic SP with a 1.4 takumar. But I knew what I was buying.

Maybe I`m being naive then .... that just wouldn`t occur to me .
What would be the point of doing something like that and posting a video .
Maybe you are right but its beyond my understanding . 🙂

An American phrase with what I would hope is a distinctly American source. A cult moved 900 members from San Francisco to the jungles of Central America. Feeling threatened, the cult leader had all the members drink something like Kool-Aid (a high-sugar powder mixed with water) with cyanide in it. Including feeding it to children.

Ah .... yes maybe but why would finding a Leica in a junk shop do that .
It`s ok no explanation needed .... its just my ignorance about how these things work 😱

This guy has a good imagination. The "facts" don't fit well here. Getting followers can get you money. It is a game. A show.

First he said he noticed the red dot, which suggests he knew about Leicas. Then he says he didn't know what brand it was. That's when I decided it didn't pass the smell test.

In a word - clickbait.
Typical YouTube fiction. Plenty of it on that woeful site.
To be enjoyed but not believed.
On the other hand, don't we all have our stories of op shop finds...

Geez. What a bunch of grumps here today! It's not that outlandish. It costs you nothing to believe him.

I think he meant to say that he knew it was a Leica didn’t know the exact model number until later, when he looked it up. Perfectly believable for the average person who isn’t a Leica fondler.
I do wonder about the back story, how the camera ended up in a thrift store with a broken LCD.
