KMZ set filters

Some of the lenses produced by the Russian factory KMZ came with filters. I now have three of these: tair 11A (55mm), mir 10A (67mm), and Mir 24m (58mm). The sets usually consist of a green, orange, and clear. I don't know if anyone in this forum even uses filters extensively anymore since the effects can be reproduced to some extent in PP but I figured I'd ask.

Can anyone comment on the quality of these sets? I know filters across the aisle, except for some of the B&W ones, affect quality but do these more so than say a hoya or tiffen? Many thanks in advance.

I do use the skylight filter supplied with the MIR38B (72mm) and find it ok so far. That is to say, I haven't noticed it affecting IQ at all. As for the colour filters, again with the 38B I have used the green for a test roll of B&W when I used it on the M645 and it did what it was supposed to do - quite well, at that.
Never used the colour filters of the Tair11A, so can't comment, but the skylight is ok.
