VisoFlex2 and Battery Consumption

How fast does the VisoFlex2 drain the battery of the M11/P ? I'm considering it for my 75mm 'Cron APO application.

Owners, please chime in.

If I have a close focus lens on for the day, or my 90mm APO I leave the Visoflex 2 on my M11-D almost all the time.   My M11-D gets excellent battery life in the base case without an LCD.   I don't notice a lot of extra consumption with the Visoflex 2.  If I'm out for the afternoon and take a hundred snaps I consume 10%-15% of my battery.  My sleep mode is at 10 minutes and I just leave my camera turned on for a few hours straight.

No problem when you set the "Display standby" to 30 seconds. And EVF/LCD to extended.

On top of that in the overview menu you can switch "off" the LV then the Visoflex will not work. This is very convenient.

Conclusion: Very valuable tool. No probplem with battery when settings are accordingly.
