Hand-colouring black and white photographs

Colorizing black and white images is a very old technology. It began with the desire to correct early "colorless" photographs manually.

These early colorations are often technically very well done and in some pictures you really have to look twice before you discover the hand-painted color.

One of these is the Russian portrait lens Helios 40-2 85mm F1,5. There is a lot of technical information about Helios available on the Internet; I give you some usage tips based on personal experiences.
