If you want the larger / softer eye cup that comes with the A1 mark II

[AlphaWorld]

I found that the new softer/larger eye cup that comes with the A1 II is the Sony FDA-EP21 (the regular one is the FDA-EP19). It's already listed on the Sony web site in my country, but without a release date or a price (just "Available Soon")

If your camera comes with an FDA-EP19 (and a number of models do: A7SIII, A7IV, A1, A7RV, A9III, at least), then you can put on the new one in its place.

My A9 III is currently sporting a third party replacement eye cup, but if the new one is as good or better I think I'll be looking to source a few of the Sony ones. You might find them in camera stores, but the other option is your friendly Sony spare parts distributor - quite possibly cheaper there.

That's good to know, thanks.

I hated the small, hard cup on my new a7iv, and I needed better light exclusion. I got a Hoodman (ask youtube which is the best one to buy) and even at import price (probably double the USA price) I consider it worth every penny/cent/paise. In other words, worth it at twice the price!
