Filters won at auction

I won some filters last week on ebay despite my not knowing what they were. I think I was interested because they looked pretty Embarassed and were 49mm thread size (I have several lenses they would fit).
Now, I'll add photos here in the hope someone can identify them, all I know is the black one is a close-up (No.1) from Asahi Pentax.

The middle filter is thicker than the rest and has no identifying marks at all, while the other 3 silver-coloured filters all have the name Ceneiplan.



They are all like new condition and I used the close-up filter to take the middle image above.
The orange/red one makes me think of B&W filters, am I on the right track? Can anyone here educate me ? Smile

R3 & R12 FILTER

Decamired Filters
Takes the guesswork out of determining colour temperature. Acts as a conversion filter for coluor temperature adjustments from any point to any other point in the colour temperature scale. Can be used to create 'proper' colouration in unusual situations, and to make creative alterations. Applications include keeping colour temperature constant during the course of the day and producing the effect of different times of day. Available in two series, reddish filters that warm the light and bluish filters that cool the light. Each series contains 4 densities: 1-1/2, 3, 6, and 12. Filters in the same series can be combined.

The dark one is probably a polarizer or a neutral density, and the light yellow probably a 'warm up' filter such as a '81A' ?

Thanks for the info, as you say most of this can be done in PS these days but a polarizer is always good to have.
The close-up lens appears to be very good quality, it's not a Raynox but it's handy to have in my bag or jacket pocket.
Never heard of Decamired Filters before, I'll go and google them. Smile

I don't think the dark one is a polariser as there doesn't appear to be a turning ring for finding the correct angle for effect, so it is probably an ND "silky water" filter.

I think you're correct, I've just compared it to a polarizer and they are clearly not the same. But that's cool, an ND filter is just as welcome in my bag. Smile
