I have a Sony A99. The bottom of the eyepiece blocks the eyepiece sensor and prevents the auto start from working. In addition, the LCD view finder won't work with it. I modified it by cutting off the bottom bar and removing some of the cup. Once I did that, it works fine. Hoodman needs to modify their Sony version so it works and looks better than my modification.

You don't realize how hard it is to see through an electronic viewfinder until you have one of these. On the sunny days, I'm really glad to have this thing.

The HoodEYE worked as advertised. It allowed me to look through my view finder an take sharper photos without the light bleed I experienced with the stock eyepiece.

I needed an eyecup for my Sony A68, but there wasn't one listed for my camera. I emailed support because I felt the eyecup for the A65 and A77 should fit. Within a very short time I received a response confirming my assumption. Immediately placed my order, and within a week I had a good quality eyecup on my camera. Great overall experience.

I had these even back when I was using Canon, Now with Sony I do use these on all our cameras. Shooting in the sun these do help. Easy to take off for cleaning. One thing that it does block the LCD screen just a little. If I'm just using the LCD and not the Viewfinder I pull the screen out just past the hood, so there is an acceptable work around on this.

I like the swiveling hood because I some times change eyes to shoot a subject. I know that it is for the A7 sony's but I got it to work on a old A65 with little modification.

Prior to buying the eye piece the sun would obstruct my vision. Since installing the eye piece I no longer have that problem. It is soft and well made and was a perfect fit for my Sony. It is good for the left or right eye as it turns. I have reccomended it to my friends. Very satisfied with this product. Meyer the sales rep at Adorama was excellent as always and the delivary was on time.

The eyepiece is exactly what I have wanted. It shades the viewer and provides a true picture. Sony should have provided this with the camera! I have installed it on an A77.

eyeglass wearer with Alph7 mk, this makes a big difference. S in bright sunlight was a pain in the past
