I am assuming here that the fiscal value of a given type, will not be your primary motive for collecting. Personally I have a great liking for the oddball types. A recent addition to my collection being a Corfield Periflex Gold Star, which along with other Corfield models has a nifty little periscope which pops up and down between the rear of the lens & the film. If your interest takes you down this route, then consider the Purma range with its eccentric shutter mechanism. Personally the Special and the earlier Speed are my favourites here. Mind you, you could wait an age for a Speed to come along, and/or be prepared to pay a considerable amount for one. Miniatures also make for interesting additions to any collection.
