I bought my  OM-1 MD with 50/1.4 lens and semi-rigid never-ready case (all new) 
from Camera Mart (Baltimore, MD) on 12 April 1975 for US $304.00.  (I still 
have the sales slips, and use the camera, or will when the CLA is done.)

I bought a OM-4T MD body new for $650 from Adorama on 29 November 1993.  (I 
must struggle on with the OM-4T while the OM-1 is being CLAed.)

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics' Inflation Calculator, $304 in 
1975 is equivalent to $1,005 today in 2002.    And $650 in 1993 is equivalent 
to $800 today.

The Inflation Calculator button is the first line under the "Get Detailed 
Statistics" heading on this webpage: <http://stats.bls.gov/cpi/>.
