Re price increases, my 1995 DK price list shows (8kr = $1):

35-80/2.8                      15,485                 (only zoom still
available)
90/2                               10,590
180/2                             68,442
250/2                           101,900
350/2.8                        101,900

Note that the 25ales tax is included.
I think prices have probably been stable since then.

An interesting item from this (dealer) price list is a fixed price list for
repairs. This covered pretty much any repair; the price depended on the camera
type, not what was wrong. Thus the dealer did not have to wait for a quote from
Olympus Denmark. For instance,
OM-1, OM-2n, OM-2SP, OM-3          720kr + 25ales tax (+ whatever the dealer
cared to add!)
OM-2, OM-4, OM -4Ti                                      1080kr + +
OM-4 (new circuit or shutter)                          1440kr + +
Interesting that it cost more to repair an OM-2 than to repair a -2n !
