This isn't new, its been like this for the past few years. Even before
the OM system was officially discontinued, it was getting hard to get many
of the parts for "current" lenses and bodies. Nothing has really changed
except for the fact that the parts pool is getting smaller. These days
one would be wise to check availablity of parts before purchasing any
"slghtly damaged" lenses. You could very easily get stuck with a doorstop.
