Thank you to those who replied to my question, as to color or B&W:

Richard Man - was not sure
Bob DuBois - B&W
Lluis - B&W
Bob Addler - B&W
Sonny Carter - color
Gene DuPrey - B&W

...... I had a real problem trying to get the contrast up, so I used a  
different photo, also converted to B&W.  Is the Elmar 50 2.8  
considered a low contrast lens?

This one is in focus, and shows the fun side of this man.
