White spot on curtain is reading substrate for the meter in the M6, M7 and
MP. Meterless Ms (M3, M2, M4, M4-P and M4-2 have plain curtains.  The M5,
although metered, has a plain curtain also because the meter sensor is on a
"stalk" immediately in front of the curtain.

The M4-2 should not "feel" substantially different from the other black
chrome Ms.
