Olympus OM-2N MD

Name: Olympus OM-2N MD
Brand: Olympus

The Olympus OM-2N MD is a 35mm single-lens reflex camera introduced in 1979 as an update to the OM-2, using the Olympus OM bayonet mount. It was positioned as a compact, enthusiast-level body with aperture-priority automatic exposure and off-the-film (OTF) TTL metering, with the "MD" suffix denoting motor drive compatibility.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the OM-2N MD have ranged from roughly £50 to £160, with a median around £80 across the last couple of years. As of 2026, clean working bodies with intact meters typically sell for £80 to £120 at saleroom level, while scruffy or untested examples fetch closer to £50 to £70; prices are noticeably condition-sensitive and tend to lift when a usable lens is included in the lot.
