I know its made for the Zoom but I am thinking it would fit the Sony PCM-D50 just fine.  I already spent the $50 on the Sony windjammer but am thinking this one might be good to have in the bag for extra wind protection as it states it offers 30-40db of wind reduction and the Sony one claims only 20db.  Another thought is to use this Rycote windjammer in conjunction with the Sony for those windy days.  Anyone try this Rycote mini jammer on the PCM-D50?  Thanks.

No, that one is not suitable for the Sony PCM-D50.

However, Rycote *do* make a mini Windjammer specially for the Sony PCM-D50 - it's Rycote part number 055365 and the UK retail price is £15.00 +VAT.

It's actually £3 cheaper than the one you mentioned.

The rode dead-kitten also fits most portables

I own both this windscreen and the Rode Deadkitten, and the Rode gives better results.  I have tested and posted audio samples here previously:
