Canon 200mm f/2.8

The Canon FD 200mm f/2.8 is a fast telephoto prime for Canon's FD manual-focus mount, part of the system produced between 1971 and 1987 and aimed at sports, wildlife and portrait work on 35mm film SLRs. Its combination of a long focal length and f/2.8 maximum aperture made it a practical working lens for available-light shooting, and it remains usable today on FD film bodies or via adapter on mirrorless cameras.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Canon FD 200mm f/2.8 have clustered between £60 and £88, with a median sale price near £80 across five tracked results — a modest saleroom level reflecting wholesale, not retail, value. Today in 2026 the lens typically sells for under £100 in regular condition, though a standout 2021 result fetched £223 at auction, showing that clean, collectable examples can still command a premium. Current market value therefore depends heavily on cosmetic and optical condition rather than rarity alone.
