I think you have to buy it just because of that serial number... For a
*really clean* OM-4T the quoted $600 is a pretty good price. I don't think
there are any significant differences between the champagne and the black
OM-4T (I'm sure I'll be corrected if there are) so this is probably 1/2 or
less the cost of a new OM-4T (black version) at retail. A pretty good buy.
Five OM's isn't all that many, especially if you don't already have a 4T...
