What were the professional cameras in Asia during the mid 70's?
I was looking through some old pictures and found a class picture of my dad dating back to '74. The picture was kind of shiny and the blacks were very detailed (like hair). My goal was to make prints like it. So my question is, what did professional photographers in Asia (if different in U.S) used during the mid 70's? What kind of photographic paper was commonly used?

The cameras were either 35 mm SLR's. medium format TLR's or SLR's or even view cameras. The paper used was fiber based, graded paper. Later in the 1970's RC and polycontrast paper became popular. While fiber base and RC paper is still available, graded paper is much harder to find.

It was likely a medium format camera like the Mamiya RB67 or Hasselblad. Possibly a view camera.
