However, it isn't for everyone. My habit is to change the shutter speed with my right index finger which requires that I reach the finger over the shutter release. With a "softie" on an M camera, I always seem to trip the shutter when reaching for the shutter speed dial. Its that sensitive and, for those who like it, that good.
