It's no consolation but I used to have 2 of them until digital made them obsolete and worthless. Don't even remember what happened to them now...

I was hoping to find someone but you are right, digital is the way to go for most of us now. I hate the thought of putting such a nice piece of equipment into the trash. I'll probably list them on Freecycle or similar.

Craigslist or Ebay. You may be surprised to find just how many collectors of old photography equipment there are out there. You likely will not see much $$ in a sale but. . .

Also, you could try selling it (and seeing current used prices at retail) at

Currently, OM1's are selling

Should have mentioned that the market for used Olympus lenses is probably stronger than for the body alone.

There are still people who collect film cameras.

I am going to be unloading my Hasselblad and Cambo view camera shortly. I haven't used either in about 25 years.

If you have a large flea market you may tried to find someone there to "buy" the camera from you.

While I did not try to get rid of an old camera. I had an old Olympus camera that needed a little work. While the digital had replaced it in most of my work, I needed the old camera for slides. An old guy at the flea market with hundreds of old cameras fixed it like new.

Now I don't even have a need for slides.

Some are even returning to film. I've a geezer friend who is a graphic artist (among other things). He has recently returned to film with his Canon F(?) and 4x5 view cameras.

I shoulda bought a 'Blad jes about that many yrs ago. I screwed up and went digital. :(
