GX7 +20mm and VF-1 all screens off for maximum battery duration: any experience?
1

Dear all,

I'll be using my GX-7 as secondary camera next to my em5+12-40 combo for a pretty intensive one week gig in a month or so. My problem will be battery life, especially with my main camera (bringing lots of spare and about to buy the ex-pro double charger).

I was thinking about using an optical viewfinder like the vf-1 on my gx7+20mm with both evf and lcd off in order to maximize battery life. Does any of you have any experience with that?
