It's the classic NPR 16mm in the scenes in his apt. The one you see him shooting second unit shots with for the feature is an Eclair cameflex, which is a 35mm. The NPR was a very popular camera worldwide, but the cameflex was largely unused in America. But the Zoetrope crowd, and Haskell Wexler loved it, and it was used a lot by them for second unit, or even sometimes the whole picture. (Medium Cool, American Grafitti).
