The Eye Focus hit rate on my A7CR seems to be about the same as my A7RV and A1. The big difference is that the EVF resolution is so low, such is difficult to confirm in-camera on the A7CR.
If you can trust the A7CR to nail focus at the right point, do you find that mitigates the lower VF quality?

I researched and found an eye-cup for the A7CR, which I ordered (see link, below). I sure hope that it works. If anyone knows of other solutions, I would love to hear about such....
The A7RC does not come with an extended eyecup? Strange as there is a separate silicon one included for the A6700 that does a pretty good job even in full sun. There are slightly deepened slots on the EVF box top & sides where it slides and locks into place. Here is a listing at B&H, maybe it might work if your A7CR has the same slots?
Seems there were 2 different Sony engineering teams who designed the A6700 vs the A7CII / A7CR. The A6700 has a deeper grip, a mechanical shutter and an extended eyecup, all things I like and want in my camera and makes the shooting experience better. Why these were left out of the A7Cxx is just a bit crazy.
Edit: Found these photos at Sony, seems the A7CR does not have the slots needed for the extended eyecup. What a glaring mistake Sony as the EVF box seems to be the same size, why didn't they just use the one from the A6700?
