Olympus OM-10

The Olympus OM-10 is a 35mm film SLR introduced in 1979 as a consumer-oriented model within the OM system. It offered aperture-priority automatic exposure through the OM bayonet lens mount, sitting below the OM-1 and OM-2 in the range and aimed at amateurs stepping up from compacts.

At UK auction today the OM-10 is one of the more affordable OM-series bodies, with hammer prices typically landing in the £30–£100 band and a median around £50–£55. Clean, working examples with the matched 50mm lens tend toward the upper end of that range, while body-only or cosmetically tired lots sell for value pricing at saleroom level. Buyers asking what an OM-10 is worth should note the market is condition-sensitive rather than driven by rarity.

Frequently asked questions

What is an Olympus OM-10 worth today?

Recent UK auction hammer prices for the OM-10 sit between roughly £30 and £100, with a median value around £50, depending on cosmetic condition and whether a lens is included.

How much does an Olympus OM-10 sell for at auction?

Most examples sell for £40–£75 at UK salerooms, with tidy outfits including a 50mm lens occasionally reaching £100.

Is the Olympus OM-10 a good buy at this price?

At its current value the OM-10 offers an inexpensive entry into the OM lens system, but factor in the cost of new light seals and a possible CLA when budgeting.

Does the OM-10 need batteries to fire?

Yes — the shutter is electronically controlled, so without working batteries the camera will not expose film correctly.
