I've seen a picture of him working with two large format cameras on the project. Apparently, Leicas were among the 35mm cameras since Hughes, his biographer, notes that when Smith's car was broken into and cameras and film were stolen, Smith "bought Leica M3s to replace his old IIIcs and IIIfs." He also says that within a couple of days, "two of Gene's Leicas turned up in an East Libery pawn shop" and that Smith paid $40. to buy them back.
