I haven't spent a lot of time looking, but if the HDMI slot on the K-01 works the same way it does on the K-5 (allowing live monitoring and not just playback) then you COULD use one of the HDMI add-on EVFs out there.

At one time there was an after market replacement bed gate for Toyota pickups that spelled out Tonka where Toyota should have been. I found that to be quite amusing.
