To use for color you must be placing filtration below the lens, as there is no upstairs filter drawer. My suggestion is to contact Durst in Bolzano, Italy (or is it Bressanoni?) and request an English instruction manual. If that doesn't work and someday I find the one I had, I could photocopy it for you. Just send me your snailmail address and tell me if all else fails....Ed
