New OM-1 (1 Viewer)

It shows the demand for this camera that the 'grey' import sites are selling for considerably more than the list price as they can get hold of them which is rather frustrating.

HDEW are selling at £2099 which isn't too bad especially when there is an extra £50 off until the end of the month

I saw nearly £3071 for body and 12 - 40 lens. Considering that grey imports don't have a manufacturer's warranty that is a lot! That wasn't HDEW who I have used a couple of times before. I may have to consider the HDEW option. Spare battery still an issue. Nowhere seems to have the battery and the one third party one that i found on Amazon would arrive into August.

Bought one from parks a couple of days ago and they had 3 at the time .

Panamoz £1950 with a three year UK guarantee.
Worth a look! Bought off them many times and will do so again.

Parks?

Parks?

Park are selling them for £1999 which is great but they're out of stock.

 

[capdegat]

park cameras and they still have batteries

Right I had to order from 3 places but OM1 body, 100 - 400 and f4 12 - 45mm lenses and spare battery ordered. The stress of spending that much money made me forget to use the £50 off voucher but an email resulted in a promise that I will be refunded £50.

After 4 months waiting for Wex I got fed up and received mine today from Panamoz, 7 days after ordering.

HDEW assured me they had no stock problems and I will get it within 7 days. They do, however, have stock problems with 100 - 400 lens and battery.

I don't suppose you've also come across a secret supply of 150-400's as well? With current waiting lists I may even be able to afford one by the time it becomes available!

I've bought from HDEW several times (E-M1.3, 12-100 & 100-400 plus various Canon bodies & lenses in the past) & always been happy with them. Just guessing that you've managed to source a 100-400 elsewhere & hope that arrives before your trip as well.

 

[Steve Babbs]

Yes. Clifton cameras had one - I think it was literally one - which is due today.

Sadly not, though really I'd like to make sure I like the OM1 before I spend that amount of money... Actually, OM UK were going to lend me one and an OM1 to test - until they realised that they hadn't got either either and little chance of getting them either!

Just noticed one thing . Camera comes with USB cable with type C at both ends which means that you may need a type A to C adaptor as I did .Amazon have plenty !

I just used my phone cable to attach my OM1 to my PC. Worked fine to do the update to firmware 1.1.

I may be only person who doesn't use a mobile
