I was just curious.  I know there are a lot of people who
convert their shots to B&W, and was wondering if they could actually
visualize the world in B&W literally using an EVF.

Old time cinematographers viewed a scene through a deep purple filter 
to wash out the color and see what it would look like in B&W. One was 
even incorporated in the viewfinder of the early Robot cameras. If you 
want to find one simply go to the oldest photo store in town and ask 
the oldest clerk if her has one in the junk box. I'm sure any deep 
colored camera filter will give much the same effect.
