I use AND collect.- silly criteria for collecting too - I always try to get one of the last 10 built.Over the last 30 years or so of collecting I managed it with a Black SL and SL2, SL2 Mot, SL2 50Jahre, R7 Partner Aktion and an R5 (which is beyond the number of the last one built). I also had an M2 with an M1 number (not converted) but I swapped it recently for one of the last Chrome SL bodies and 3 lenses.every now and again they get taken out for a walk to keep them fresh.
