By the 1960s 35mm has pretty much taken over the world, even cheapie cameras are using it by now, though a few cheap designs cling to 127 and 120 format. The 120 format is generally used in the professional industry as it gives finer grain on large images. Selenium cell light meters, lever wind and Single Lens Reflex are commonplace. It's mainly black with chrome lids still - even the cheapies imitate it.
