There is a seperate one that you can get if you use the VC module, but I am not sure they have any at Leica NJ- they do have some parts, but I am unsure on the red filter. I did see one on E**y a while back, but I can't remember the final bid. I have found, however, that the red filter is somewhat redundant, and I simple use the back of a piece of used paper on which to compose and focus as I can see better with the white light than the red!! Enjoy the V35- it is a fantastic piece of equipment!
