So, my open box A6400 did not come with an eye cup. I found this one on Ebay and it fits perfectly. It does block the very bottom side of the screen when inverted but not a huge deal. KIWIFOTOS Long Camera Eyecup For Sony A6400 A6500 A6600 replaces Sony FDA-EP17 | eBay

I just pulled the trigger on the upgrade. I've been patient and got in on a deal for $720. MyA6000 has served me well, but on occasion has had AF misfires, especially during tracking. I was torn between the IBIS of the A6500 for my older Legacy lenses and the Eye AF on the A6400. The...
