Wouldn't it be just as easy to hold on to the lens/board when flipping up the 
lever?

  y when you flip up the lens board release lever the lens board will fall 
quickly under the weight of any lens!  $30 insurance worth it to keep a $500 or 
more lens from falling!

  Bob, thanks for looking.  I just found a pdf version of the 2000/2001 Sinar 
catalog.  The item is labeled: "lens board holder."

  Seems like a good thing to have!

    Jeff - I could not find the name, but Sinar's part number is 531.41    I 
would think it would be called a lensboard retaining clip

    For those who know the Sinar system, the following link shows a "lens board 
clip" that I assume can keep the lens from crashing to the ground when the 
holder is released?  

    Any idea what this is officially called and where I might find one?
