I was at the Penn in Laurel MD last Friday. They had an OM-1MD for $130 and
2 OM-1n's one black and one chrome. They were $185 and $199. No OM fit
lenses at all. Good thing is that you can ask about OM holdings at all the
stores from any one of them. You can see their site at penncamera.com for
store locations and phone numbers. You may also be able to contact them via
email from the site to get an idea of what is available at the various
locations. If you have interest in particular gear, you might get them to
transport to the location nearest Gaithersburg which would be Rockville.
I've found them to be helpful, though not that knowledgable of the OM
system.
Also, Modern Photo Supply in Reisterstown MD has used OM gear at premium
prices. 410-833-2112. No web presence.
