Minolta user.. and new to photography

[Minolta3xiNewbie]

Hi =o) I just got a Minolta 3xi maxxum 35mm film camera, I have ran my first roll of film (well 4 rolls) and loving it! it came with a AF 35-80 power zoom 0.5m/1.6ft made by minolta that's a 49mm lens it also came with 4 filters : Haze UV 1, circular polarizer, red #25, deep yellow 15. and just got a minolta AF Macro 50mm 1:2.8 (32). from what I have been reading the red and yellow are for B/W photos (but don't know what they do for the picture) I understand the UV... and am playing around with the polarizer ..I like it... could someone let me know if what I is good or junk.. I like film.. and going to wait for awhile before I go digi. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
