Plenty of 2nd hand ones in Oz too !
Try to get one with a warranty and check it out very carefully before the
warranty period expires. I have had some problems with OM-10's with mirror
alignment problems (one that I dropped myself, another was like it when I
bought it 2nd hand). Things to check:
1. Infinity focus is OK - check this with a tele if you can.
2. Focus is even across the screen.
3. Foam seal in the back is not gummy - any reputable camera shop should fix
this as part of the deal.
4. Try to find 1 which has the manual adapter already - these are often
expensive to buy separately.
