Green filter to differentiate foilage shades in B & W is one of the
'old-time' applications. I think they used to call the filter an "X1" and
"X2" for the different shades. It also works somewhat on sky/clouds, like a
yellow/orange filter would, but since it also picks out the greens, its
maybe even more versatile. Don't use it for caucasian portraits, as it will
enhance skin/blemish contrast...

OM-'s of all sorts, and no OM-oney...
I don't know if there is an official 'Olympus brand' in the greens... I've
never seen one.
