I would highly recommend this for Sony cameras. Much more comfortable than the Sony eye piece, helps block the sun, but doesn't get in the way of the rear screen.

Hi. Is this eyecup soft and squishy? Will it allow you to see the entire EVF realestate or will the edges be lost?
Asked by: Adam
The SmallRig Viewfinder Eyecup for Select Sony Cameras is soft. And it allows a full view of the viewfinder.
