Nicholas, welcome
You should be able to get an OM-1 in good nick for less than £150 with the
lens. Check the back pages of an Amateur Photographer, both in the private
classifieds and in the shop adverts of used stuff. Online with
http://www.ffordes.co.uk or http://www.mxv.co.uk will also do the trick to
give you an idea of what is available. In addition, an OM2N will not cost
you much more. £200 would buy you an OM2SP, perhaps with a 50/1.8 lens.
Happy Hunting ;-)
