Not sure when Life Magazine did, but they were using it in the 60's for sure. I used to have some Leica slides taken by my uncle in the 50's.
Jean Shrimpton was a model in the early 60's and quite a lot of these Vogue shots were in colour link
These Russian colour photos were taken around 1905

For those who can't appreciate B&W photography, these W. Eugene Smith photos might be useful
I won't mention anymore because I'll be accused of assuming that people on this forum aren't clued up enough to know who I'm talking about

I quite like the colorised shots here, they are not OTT at all.
That site link has now had
4,385,617 views
I wonder if she would be interested in colouring in any of my IR aerial shots..

camera with RGB filters (one on each lens) and then view a
colour slide show, every bit as good as our 35mm slides
with a similar set up on the projector side i.e. RGB filters
over each lens. The 3 picture positive was made from the
3 picture negative.

I'm sure the Einstein photo is also by Karsh and the colouring in
is also unlikely to have been approved.

Nice shots despite the upsetting nature of them

I've been using a 55mm f2 Take recently and it's a lovely lens. Really nice to use and a wonderful rendition. I can definitely recommend it.
If you look at the link I gave above link the SMC PENTAX 55mm f/1.8 (K55/1.8, #1166***) and SMC PENTAX 55mm f/2 (K55/2, #1769***) perform exactly the same.

Never used any but wireless headphones have been widely available
for at least 15 years.... you shouldn't have any trouble finding some.

If so Sebastião Salgado is probably the greatest living B&W photographer. I think he started with a Spotmatic and then MX..... then Leica and onto a Pentax 645 and lately 645D
This was his first attempt at landscapes and animals link
He had to carry a solar panel charger with him to charge the 645D batteries up on that trip.
His homepage:
http://www.amazonasimages.com/sebastiao-salgado
You have to look under Essays for the photographs i.e.
http://www.amazonasimages.com/grands-travaux
Sorry again about the B&W and his liking for the Tri-X look... they don't look that good on a computer, much better as 6ft high prints
