No M's had meter until the M5.

>>The M2 came next. It has 35mm, 50mm, and 90mm frames. Most have self

See above.

>>The M4 came next, about 1967. It has 35mm, 50mm, 90mm, and 135mm 
>>frames, a self timer, and like the previous two, no hot shoe.

A hot shoe is a shoe with electrical contacts to fire a flah when the
shutter is opened. You can still use your finder in the shoe provided.
