With the filter on, are there any issues with the opening and closing of the lens on power on / power off? Does the plastic iris still close?

There is definitely no problem with the opening and closing of the lens nor other problems. This is a wonderfully useful filter and I do suggest you to get one for any of your pocket cameras. It is also very easy to install.

It opens and closes fine but I received a message saying "the camera has been dropped" once or twice a day. I took the lens off and a year ago and have not received that message since. I had multiple problems with the lens on my RX100.

As all others have answered, yes, a small metal cover protects the lens when the camera is powered off. HOWEVER..... it is not the strongest piece of metal in the world! A good strong poke could easily breach that cover and damage the lens, so I suggest that you still plan to treat the camera with respect, even when turned off.

The lens retracts fully into the body of the camera, then there is a built in lens cover that closes like tiny hangar doors. Keep it in a little neoprene case and it'll be just fine.

I've bought about 10 of these and never had a problem other than the lens getting scratched over time. I'd email the seller.

There should be a switch on the cord with an on/off button. Or try turning the lens.

The filters screw on. I just use the clear one to protect the lens. At first, I had to be careful when I removed the lens cap, but now I have no problem.

Yes, it covers the off and on button so you should not experience this issue with the lens over on

Yes, the lens retracts when you turn the camera off -- only comes out when you turn it on. Hope this answers your question.

Apologies for not answering earlier.. Although I have not used it in a while, as it is a spare, the overall piece is light( due to the plastic frame construction) and I am near positive the Lens is glass.. Either way, it works when needed and was not pricy at all. Still would recommend it..

Yes and no. As a point and shoot with no replaceable lenses the lens is fixed. When the camera is off there are two sliding 'windows' that do close and cover the lens though. I depends on your expectation I guess.

Short answer: yes. Generally always better to turn the OS on any lens off when using a tripod, if nothing else it uses less power that way.

I did not have any problems I use case with adapter ring + filter + the larger lens cover. I have been useing this protective cover for over 30 days now on daily basis still very happy with my purchase.

I haven't had any issues with the case affecting my camera/pictures. The opening around the lens is angled away.

I have no issues at all with my lense, the case is thin, but the lense never touches the surface it is sitting on. The case is a little smoother than others Ive used, which equates to being a little harder to grip, but it was very easy for me to get used to. I remain very happy with this case.

I believe there is no need for a lens cap. When the camera turns on the lens opens and closes back dow upon powering off.

There's a little tab that locks the adapter onto the lens. You can see it engaging if you look while connecting the adapter to the lens. The first time I tried to connect, I bent the tab trying to force the adapter and the lens wouldn't lock. I had to bend the tab upward with pliers so it would engage the lens. It was all good news from there.

Sorry - it's too early in the morning - I answered before noticing that it was a question about the Sony view finder. If I'm understanding you correctly - the soft eye piece literally just snaps on and off. A small amount of force will pull the rubber cover away from the EVF unit. You shouldn't feel as if you are about to break the (expensive) item - but it just snaps off. Once it's off you'll see that the rubber cover is attached through a simple tongue / grove arrangement. Snap it off by applying pressure to the top of the cover rather than the sides.
