I used 'below the lens' multigrade filters for a while (I had a IIa) and never noticed any loss in quality. Though I always tought it would be preferable to colour the light rather than put a filter in front of the image path. I have a spare brochure (not instructions) for the 1c, you are welcome to them if you wish to send me your address. best regards and congratulations on a terrific bargain!
