That's a great deal you got on all those filters.
1. The green and yellow filters are for black and white use. Yellow is used
for a mild contrast enhancement that some always keep on their lens for B&W.
The green is used to portrait photography for caucasian skin tones and to
lighten green foilage. The Quantaray is a house brand.
2. I have this Tiffen enhancing filter and use it for landscape photography
and autumn leaf photography. It really is a bit too much and you have to be
careful about having any white objects in your photos or they will get a
magenta cast. This is the didymium filter and the color cast doesn't match
the effect it has on film emulsions.
3. You could use the 85B to try out the ISO 6 tungsten color slide
duplicating film as an outdoor landscape film??
4. Promaster is another house brand.
5. Qantaray diffisuser. It's pretty easy to unscrew the retaining ring and
replace broken filter glass so maybe the previous owner removed the Quantaray
UV glass and replaced it with the diffuser glass.
The price of the enhancer, if you like the effect, is worth the price of the
whole bunch.
