Canon 15mm f/2.8
The Canon EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye is an autofocus full-frame fisheye prime for the Canon EF mount, introduced in the EF-mount era that began in 1987. It is a specialist ultra-wide optic intended for full-frame 180-degree diagonal coverage, used for landscape, architectural interiors, and creative distortion work.
Evidence of value at saleroom level is thin: the single UK auction hammer result on record is £180 from September 2020, which sits well below typical used-dealer retail. With only one data point in 2026, a fair guide to what the lens is worth today is anchored on that £180 figure, though clean, fungus-free copies with the original hood and caps can sell for more in private sales. Buyers should treat the auction market as the wholesale floor rather than a retail benchmark.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Canon EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye worth at UK auction?
The only verified UK auction hammer price in our records is £180 from September 2020, so that figure is the best available reference for current value at saleroom level.
How much does a Canon EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye sell for compared with dealer prices?
Auction hammer results such as the £180 sale are wholesale levels and exclude commission, so dealer retail asking prices for clean, tested examples are typically higher.
Is the price affected by condition?
Yes — fungus, haze, scratches on the bulbous front element and oil on the aperture blades all reduce value, while a complete example with caps and hood tends to achieve the stronger end of the price range.
