Re: Warhol in manhole with camera and a young Edie (hence not 70’s)

Could it be a Nizo held upside down? Perhaps handle is folded, hence less visibly obvious?
The Silver box like shape, and the dark rectangular bar are consistent with Nizo bodies.  Wide lens in proportion to body also make some sense.

>> Hi Frameworkers!

>> We need some help identifying a camera in a photo of Warhol for our catalogue raisonné.  Does anyone know what kind of camera Warhol is holding in these photos by Burt Glinn from 1965?  I’m thinking Super 8, but am unsure.  If anyone could provide any help that would be amazing and very welcomed.
