Olympus OM-101
The Olympus OM-101 is a 35mm single-lens reflex camera from the Olympus OM line, introduced in the late 1980s as an autofocus-oriented body aimed at the consumer end of the SLR market.
Sales data for the OM-101 is thin: the only recorded UK auction hammer result is £20 in May 2024, which is a wholesale saleroom level rather than a retail price. On that limited evidence, the OM-101 sells for very modest sums today, and its value sits at the budget end of the Olympus OM market in 2026, with condition and the presence of a working Power Focus lens being the main factors that lift price.

Frequently asked questions
What is an Olympus OM-101 worth today?
On current UK auction evidence the OM-101 is worth around £20 at hammer, though only one recent sale is on record so the figure should be treated as indicative rather than a firm market price.
How much does an Olympus OM-101 sell for at auction?
The single tracked UK auction result shows the OM-101 selling for £20 in 2024, placing it among the cheaper Olympus OM bodies in the saleroom.
Is the Olympus OM-101 a good buy at this price?
At this price level it can be a low-cost entry into the OM system, but because servicing options are limited a working example with a functional Power Focus lens offers the best value.
