GoodEvening,
My name is Paul Anderson, and i just perchased a sonya6000, and then i bought a fe 1.8/50mm along with the kit lens that came with the camera. I am a legally blinded veteran. I have retinitis pigmentosa with a small field. I went to take a picture the other day and the glare of the sun was so bad i had to have my grandaughter take the pic for me. She reminded me that i got the camera to extend my vision. Since i couldn't see anything on the screen, i was thinking that maybe I should purchase a bigger eye cup than the one that came with the camera. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Paul Anderson

Paul, thank you for your service.
I do not own a 6000, but am curious; did the electronic viewfinder not help you. I had to switch cameras in order to get an EVF to solve the bright light problem.

First of all, as a veteran, I thank you for your service. I have a Hoodman eye cup which is great for eye glasses. I don't have a Sony camera, but I'm sure Hoodman makes one for your type of camera.

Hey Paul:
I don't have any useful info other than the recommendations so far look great.
I think that you will be welcomed by all and that we all want to help you to become a better photographer.
Many members here sort of mentor the newbies and will offer any assistance that you may need.
Just please use the search at the top of the page to find answers to almost any question that you may have about photography before throwing it out to the membership for their input.
It will serve to keep the "Trolls" from going bonkers.
Also, the responses to a VET (you) make me proud to be part of this forum.
Finally, from one VET to another. . .
Smile,
Jimmy T Sends
