Bluestar 3079 Eyecushion System for Select Sony Cameras (Ultrasuede, Baby Jaguar)

The perfect eyecushion

I lost the eyecup off my Sony FS5 a few months ago. With my older eyes I use the eyepiece more than the flip out especially outdoors. I was stuck, Sony wanted a small fortune for a replacement. Plus the Sony cup wasn't all that great to begin with. It looks nice but also easy to knock off. Out of desperation I bought this Blue Star cushion because it replaces the whole factory eyecup. I've used the simple slip on Blue Star cushions for years. This new cup is really well thought out. It fits like the proverbial glove. It comes in two pieces, one piece for the most part is permanently mounted to the camera. Not actually permanent but it takes some time to get on the camera and it will not fall off. The second part, the cushion, securely mounts to the the first piece, it will also not fall off either. This thing is so very comfortable to use. When in use the pressure from your eye socket comfortably and completely blocks out the sun, no sweat in your yes, you can easily check and adjust focus, and make sure your color balance is accurate. No guessing. This cushion deserves an Oscar!
