Ukrainian spy drone crashed in Belarus and shows it used a Sony A5100 with a 25mm f/5.6 7Artisans lens

A Chinese military fan account on Weibo shared these pics. It shows an Ukrainian spy drone that crashed in Belarus. Inside you find the Sony A5100 with a 25mm f/5.6 7Artisans lens. At 25mm this thing had really to fly very close to their targets to take decent shots.

UPDATE: It’s debatable if this is a real Ukraine drone or if it’s a propaganda piece from Belarus.

I removed the comment system because of the many political comments. All I wanted to discuss is that they use a very old Sony camera with a quite curious lens to take spy shots :)

Petapixel: A Look Inside Sony’s Camera Center at the 2022 Winter Olympics

PetaPixel shared an exclusive insight on Sony’s camera center:

“At the Sony counter here in Beijing, not only can you get your cameras cleaned, and some repairs on sight but a peek behind the service counter reveals a stunning array of cameras and lenses ready to be loaned out at no cost,” Didlick explains. “Sony has prepared to loan over 250 cameras and 600 lenses to photographers reporting on the Olympic games.”
“The Sony depot here has 41 local staff working shifts under BOCOG’s strict COVID-19 guidelines support with another 30 team members worldwide online ready to help photographers working under tight deadlines in all the time zones around the world,” he adds.
