What camera is Matthew VanDyke holding here (or think he is holding), the American Freelance journalist who was captured in March by forces loyal to Gaddhafi?

"Some EVIL device with adapted manual focus lens". A Nex is probably the best bet.

Agfa Clack with a bad4ss hood?

Perhaps... a video camera!

Perhaps... a video camera!

That's what I thought.

Looks like a small-sized Hasselblad with the chrome Sonnar 150mm lens.

From the looks of it I'd say it's unlikely that it's a photo camera.

Perhaps... a video camera!

But which one? Unless the guy is a former basketball pro, it is too small for even a NEX-FS100 stripped of grip and finder, and that would be the smallest pro outfit with silver interchangeable lenses right now.

To me it looks like a chrome 35 summilux ASPH is the lens. I may be wrong.

Perhaps on a small NEX camera as other people have suggested.

Thanks for all the replies. Was just curious. Glad he made it out alive, very fortunate!
