Speaking of OM bodies that aren't all that favorably looked upon, I 
happened to be wandering through a camera store in Calgary, and 
spotted a brand-new OM-88 in the display case.  Thinking it was really 
LNIB, I asked to look at it.  Indeed, it was brand-new!  Hadn't ever been 
used....  still had the little protective cardboard over the shutter in the 
back...  pristine paperwork, and all that stuff.

The store wanted around  CDN$350 (US$227) for the body and the 
50/2PF lens, which I thought was a bit much.  But, it was *very* 
interesting to see a brand-new, never-been-used camera that has been 
discontinued for 10 years!

Regards,

Chris

P.S.  No, I *didn't* buy it!

P.S.  They also had a new OM-2000 on the shelf...  wanted CDN$450 
for it...  didn't even ask to look at it!  :-)
