I was looking at the EF Lenses brochure I just got from Canon and
ran across something I don't understand.
In the description of the EF 17-40mm f/4L USM it says "............
and features the same weather-resistant design, rear gel filter
holder, and high speed USM as the EF 16-35mm lens."
Looking at my 17-40 I find a "rear gel filter holder". What am I missing?

My 16-35 has a little metal clip at the rear to hold a small square
of gel filter. I have a couple of other lenses with something
similar, like a 17mm fisheye-Takumar.
These are sometimes used to allow odd filter use on very wide angle
lenses. Used to use these to enable CC filter packs when I still shot
colour 35mm.
