Lost yours?

Isn't that just a shipping item? Do photographers actually put it on and take it off?

I do. The A100 and A700 had a viewfinder cover on the strap that you could snap it into. Very handy. I have used my A700 in the snow and rain too and was glad it was on there.

About all I do is take it off. Throw it in the box or bag for safe keeping till I sell it. Some do worry about the contacts getting dirty but I've never had the problem.

Didnt come with one. I bought my camera "open box special" so it didnt come with a few items, but I got it dirt cheap brand new.

that's why I keep it on and use the commander mode!
Have you tired to call HCE or HCC-OP.....

[CFord]

They don't have them. I was in HCE the other day looking at the Sony accessories and didn't see any. CO-OP doesn't seem to want to have anything to do with Sony. I ordered my replacement from Sony Parts and picked it up at the Sony Style store. Cost me $7 for a pair of them for my old Minolta cameras.

I know, that frustrates the heck out of me. They say they dont have a dealer license for Sony. (sigh) I digress...

Yeah, I could probobly hit up a sony store near me. Should be easy enough.

The closest one I know and the one I hit is in the Galleria. Take your camera cause there are always some cool thing to shoot in the mall.

Are we allowed to shoot in the mall?

[CFord]

I don't shoot models or clients, or anything like that in there and never seen a sign that says no and no one has ever said anything to me. I shoot my kids all the time when they go ice skating.

If you can't find one, do what the pros do..... put some black tape on it!

Well, thats a little different. For me, it seems like I have a bullseye on my head that says "Im up to no good! Arrest me!"
