 yes.? i'm in the habit of holding the lens while flipping the lever.? but i 
suppose some people aren't, especially VC newbies.? it's good practice to 
always hang on to $500 or more of precious glass, yes.

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!

  
?

    - 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?
