Olympus OM-1N MD

The Olympus OM-1N MD is a 35mm mechanical SLR and the final revision of the OM-1, sitting within Olympus's compact OM system. The "N" denotes the updated variant with improved flash signalling and film-advance indicator, while the "MD" suffix indicates the body is factory-prepared to accept the accessory motor drive. When new it was positioned as an enthusiast manual-exposure body in the OM line.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the OM-1N MD have ranged from roughly £50 to £160, with a median close to £70 across sales logged between 2023 and 2025. As of 2026 the camera remains a low-ticket collector item at saleroom level, and the price a given example sells for is driven mainly by meter function and cosmetic condition, with the £160 result representing an unusually clean outlier rather than the typical value.
