Olympus OM-1
The Olympus OM-1 is a 35mm single-lens reflex camera introduced in 1972, designed under Yoshihisa Maitani as the debut body of the Olympus OM system. It was positioned as a notably compact and lightweight full-frame SLR at a time when professional bodies from rival makers were larger and heavier.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the OM-1 have ranged from about £44 to £190, with a median around £80 across the sales on file. As of today in 2026, most clean, working bodies sell for double-digit sums at saleroom level, and the value is strongly condition-led: examples with a seized shutter, corroded battery compartment or foam rot tend to sit at the bottom of that range, while tidy, tested bodies with a working meter are what push the price toward the upper end.

Auction: Leitz Auction 40 (Lot AI_40_40008) Title: Olympus OM-1 black 'NASA'
Description:
Only five unique OM-1 bodies were designed for the NASA and supplied to the Goddard Space Flight Centre for the Space Shuttle Missions. These all-black cameras were finished with non-flammable and low-outgassing paints and lubricants. Three of these cameras were delivered to Goddard. Two stayed with Ponder & Best company, the original marketer and distributor for Olympus Photoproducts in the U.S., who had the Olympus factory modify 5 OM bodies on NASA's order. The camera we have the pleasure to offer is one of the two examples that left with P&B. It comes with a special grip in matching finish and matching boxes. Provenance: ex S&B employee. Estimate: EUR 4,000 - EUR 5,000 |

Frequently asked questions
What is an Olympus OM-1 worth today?
Based on UK auction hammer results, a typical OM-1 body is worth around £80, with the overall price band running from roughly £44 for rough, untested examples up to about £190 for clean, fully working ones.
How much does an Olympus OM-1 sell for at auction?
Recent UK saleroom results show the OM-1 sells for between £44 and £188, and single-body lots without a lens tend to cluster in the £60–£120 range.
Does condition really affect the price?
Yes — a working meter, clean prism and functioning slow shutter speeds are the main drivers of value, and bodies with prism corrosion or a dead meter consistently sell for less than half the price of a tidy, tested example.
Is the OM-1 the same as the OM-1n?
The OM-1n is a later revision of the same camera with minor updates including a flash-ready signal in the viewfinder; both appear in UK auctions and tend to sit within the same price range.
