This sun visor replaces the original Sony certainly equivalent, and therefore shares the same characteristics. So the screen is too short to protect against side light sunlight coming from the front light. This is especially true, if more filters are installed, because the grow so inside out to the front. Well, turn the bayonet lock, so a change or no time is a no brainer.
Because my Sony A57 kit an inside-closing lid was already included, this is unnecessary here. The only advantage is again that contains this a hole for a backup tape. However, this in turn is supplied to short to attach removable (ie double layered to form loops) to the eye of the camera.
For the Sony kit the cover the band is thus superfluous, rather useless. But I can use both fortunately still for the filter adapter a compact camera, there will then adjust the strap length.
