And if Olympus did reintroduce the OM System, built to the
same standards and using the same material as used back in
the 70's, can you imagine the price of a new OM1n or OM2n
body with inflation factored in?
OM1n's in excellent shape can be had for $100-$150 at eBay. A
real steal for what you are getting and what the cost would be to
build a new one.
