[OM] OM shopping in San Francisco

I recently got to go through a couple dozen of the "tourist" camera shops 
in San Francisco near the Wharf, Chinatown, and near the cable car 
terminus. Unfortunately, I couldn't break away from my family to check out 
the real stores on Market and south of it.

I found that about half of the shops have some new in box OM lenses and 
accessories either on the back shelves or under the counters. I managed to 
pick up a brand new TTL Accessory shoe 4 for my OM1 for less than $30, & 
some lens hoods and filters for great prices. The folks who work in these 
shops seem to want to get rid of this stuff since it basically sits on 
their shelves.

Most of the lenses were a bit overpriced from a used/Ebay perspective. I'm 
not familiar with new prices. A 50 1.4 was in the $160 area. I did not try 
to bargain since I didn't see anything that interested me. I just wanted to 
let you know that the stuff is out there...
