This was simply his own special engraving that he'd had Leica do for him, utilising the 3 Ds in his name... I'm unsure what these cameras were (I believe he had more than one , three maybe, engraved for him) but I'd expect they would be MPs.

I was surprised to see he took all the shots with M3D(?) bodies but said his lenses were all Canon, Nikon, and Zeiss. Does anyone on the list know why he would choose those lenses? Thanks, Bill Lawlor
