Perhaps too well. I for one cannot use one because of my shooting style. While the camera is at my eye, I stretch a finger over the release to the shutter speed dial and, with a "Softie" installed, whenever I adjust the shutter speed, I trip the shutter, whether or not that is my intention. Therefore, I am constantly making accidental shots with the "Softie" installed. However, I only use pre-TTL M6s and this might not be a problem with the new larger dial on the TTL.
