Olympus OM-2N MD
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.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.

Frequently asked questions
What is an Olympus OM-2N MD worth today?
Based on recent UK auction hammer results, an OM-2N MD body is worth roughly £50 to £160 depending on condition, with a median value around £80.
How much does an Olympus OM-2N MD sell for at UK auction?
Clean, tested examples typically sell for £80 to £120 at hammer, while untested or cosmetically worn bodies sell for £50 to £70.
Does the OM-2N MD price include a lens?
The price range quoted is for body-only or body-with-standard-lens lots as they appeared at auction; lots bundled with a 50mm f/1.8 or f/1.4 Zuiko tend to sit at the upper end of the range.
Is the OM-2N MD the same as the OM-2N?
The "MD" suffix indicates the body is fitted for the Olympus Motor Drive accessory via a coupling on the base plate; the camera and its value are otherwise equivalent to a standard OM-2N.
