Monochrome Typ 246 EVF options?

[PD88]

Sorry to ask you this noob question. I recently purchased this camera, focus peaking is only available in live view mode. Is there optional EVF I can use it to get focus peaking on the viewfinder?

Welcome here,

Two options, Leica EVF2 cat num 18753

or Olympus VF-2

1.44 M pixels with some lag to be aware of

Also, you can only enlarge the middle area of the sensor.  There is no way to move the focus point (or magnification point) around the way you can on every other mirrorless camera in the world.

It's worth noting that the two EVF items suggested by a.noctilux are the same thing with different branding, the Leica branded item eBay priced around $300 and the Olympus branded item occasionally being in the $100 area on eBay.  I think the front surface of the Leica item may be flat rather than curved. It's my understand that both are old Epson technology.

Neither one gives a high quality display.  They are rather old technology.

It is, however, the hot setup for adapted lenses.  Allows you to use a zoom if you like.
