Where would i get one of the filters for the back of the lens? I have heard about them on this site but i can never find them on B&H. I am interested in getting one for my 24-70mm 2.8L if that helps/narrows down the question.

These are usually lenses that, either because they're ultra-wide-angle, they have a large and protruding front element, or they just have an extremely large front element, can't take front filters. The 24-70 L isn't one of those. You could always tape a piece of gel back there, but I can't think why you'd want to. Jon
