If you need to replace or find a new lens board, doing a quick search of camera lens boards will give you plenty of options. To get the right product for you, it's easiest to look at your options by the now universally accepted copal number, giving you standard sizes to work from.

Brands like Sinar, MPP, Linhof and Arca-Swiss are popular, but you can also find plenty of unbranded products. You can also shop new or used to suit your particular needs and budget.

Different types of camera lens boards

The smallest of all copal sizes, standard copal #0 boards are 34.6 mm in diameter. Typical products range from the Horseman genuine lens board panel for copal 0 compur 0 34.5mm hole, to the Cambo SC Monorail 10x8 5x4 lens board copal 0 34.7mm hole.

Check out the diameter of the hole before buying, along with the configuration, weight and camera size to ensure compatibility.
