Canon 24mm f/2.8

The Canon FD 24mm f/2.8 is a manual-focus wide-angle prime lens for the Canon FD mount, produced during Canon's FD era (1971–1987). Designed as a compact landscape, architecture and reportage lens for Canon's FD SLR bodies, it sits between the 20mm and 28mm options in the FD wide-angle line-up.

At UK auction in 2025, hammer prices for the FD 24mm f/2.8 have clustered between £69 and £70, with a clean example selling for £70 in September 2025 and two further copies at £69 in January 2025. Across the sales on file the range is £50 to £75 with a median around £69, and as of 2026 that band is what a working copy is typically worth in the saleroom — remember these are wholesale hammer figures, so retail dealer asking prices for serviced examples generally sit higher than what the lens sells for at auction.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Canon FD 24mm f/2.8 worth today?

Based on UK auction hammer results from 2023–2025, the lens is worth roughly £50–£75, with most clean copies selling for £69–£70.

How much does a Canon FD 24mm f/2.8 sell for at auction?

Recent UK hammer prices show a median around £69, with the highest recorded sale at £75 in April 2024 and the lowest at £50 in August 2024.

Is the Canon FD 24mm f/2.8 a good value wide-angle?

At a typical price of under £75 at auction it is one of the more affordable fast 24mm primes from the FD era, though condition drives price significantly given the exposed front element.

Will the Canon FD 24mm f/2.8 fit modern Canon cameras?

It is an FD-mount lens, so it does not mount natively on EF or RF bodies without an adapter, and a simple adapter will not preserve infinity focus without optics.
