YMMV depending on misuse/abuse from prior owners if you buy used gear.

* OM-1n, OM-2s and OM-4:
Never had a problem with any of them that was attributable to build or materials.
* OM-10:
Had the typical sticky magnet from long term storage which was nearly cured by hundreds of repeated firing one night with a winder 2; completely cured with a CLA.
* F280:
Had one that worked well, but not long enough to give an opine on its durability.
* T-20 and T-32's
Still going strong.
* 75-150/4:
Well built, although one of their earlier and lesser (IMO) zooms.
* 35-105/3.5~4.5
Excellent in build and performance.

Had problems with the OM-2S (no CLA): strange behaviour of exposure compensation flicking. This one was stolen before I had a chance to check it out.

Had problems with the OM-4T (no CLA): locked up mirror with new batteries in humid weather. NO problems since CLA.

Damn, I love these cameras too much to even care. I just say "Stay with me, baby..."
