I'd like to find out what you'd think was a good price for a black OM-1n
MD with a 50mm/f1.4 lens. The camera appears to be in excellent
condition, with little or no brassing and no scratches except for the
baseplate. The foam will need to be replaced, however. As for the
lens, it looks good, but the rubber focus grip ring is loose and slides
around the lens. Mechanically it seems sound, but I didn't have much
time to look it over. It's in a store that's opening up and the second
floor, where they're going to have cameras and electronics, is still
being set up. I was able to go up there and look, however.
The store owner quoted a price of $250 for the camera. I think it's
high, but as I'm not ready to buy just yet, I didn't try to bargain with
him. I'm wondering what you all think this camera is worth.
BTW, he also has a silver OM-1 with the 1.8 lens and never ready case
(but I don't know if it's a MD version) and a E. Zuiko 135mm/f4.5 (I
think). I know that it's a 135, but I just got a glance at it. I
didn't ask for prices on those items as I want to go in forearmed. (Oh,
and I do know about the lens price page, so I'll check that for the
lenses.) He also indicated he has a lot more stuff that's still packed
up in two trailers. He has a lot of cameras from other manufacturers,
but I'm a confirmed Zuikoholic now, so I'm not interested.
Thanks for your input.
