Check with Leica, I even think they had something about it on their web-site a few years ago. Be prepared for real Leica prices. A B+W V35 module was for sale on German ebay a few weeks ago, the price was ridicously low compared to Leica's filter glass only prices. BTW, when I got my V35 a few years ago, I tested the filters in the B+W module against under the lens Ilford filter. They both did the same thing, results were indistinguishable in all respects. I had thought that the under the lens filters would degrade print sharpness, but they did not. The V35 module with dial in filter grades is of course much simpler to work with than under the lens filters. I cannot understand why Daniel has a problem. Perhaps he has lost one of the filter glasses or it has moved out of its proper position.
