Filters are in various patterns and shapes and are coloured either black, pink, yellow, or teal.Moiré filters were used in developing photographs to create textured blocks of colour in order to enhance printed images, usually in advertisement. Moiré patterns are made by overlapping fine-line patterns (such as pinstripes) that are offset from each other at a slight angle - these patterns will appear and disappear depending on the resolution they appear in.

Housed in a cardboard box with several scratched out things written on the lid - only “staples” is legible. The tool could be used to preview slides/negatives by placing them on the translucent window and placing the tool underneath a direct light source such as a lamp. Alternatively, the tool could be used as a precise light focus magnifier during photograph development/enlargement.

- Small round silver metal 5 cm camera lens attachment with small horizontal runners that slide into the base on the tops of most cameras. This lens is most likely a specifically-adjusted sight for a larger lens, based on the small size and the presence of a black rectangle printed on the glass of the lens.The box consists of a white cardboard body with a partially torn housing inside for the lens that slides horizontally into a green cardboard sleeve. The green section has a narrow strip of adhesive tape around it, blocking most of the text on both the top and bottom - a small white rectangular price tag with “10.20” written on it in blue ink also obscures the text on the box.
