I've bought OM lenses from keh.com (prices on non-collectable stuff is good but there will be some tax). I'd go to them again.
eBay bargains = fungus and disputes (or maybe I've just been unlucky).
Make sure you have an 50 f1.8. It's tiny, sharp as hell, cheap and just very nice to use.
For the f1.4: the later the better - the added coating etc makes a difference. Serial numbers tell you how old it is and early lenses had a silver bezel I think. It makes pretty portraits but is a bit soft.

Yeah, I've got a pretty late production 50 1.8 that is pretty sharp - just keen for that extra speed for low light stuff. And that's right as far as I'm aware - "silver nose" OM lenses are the older ones.
keh.com is great but no 50 1.4 in stock, will keep checking. They do have a lovely 1.2 55 though, and just a snip at $517 :-/

Also, looking to buy an OM mount, 1.4 50mm. Plenty on ebay, but does anyone have any tips for buying second hand lenses?
