Canon 25mm f/3.5

The Canon 25mm f/3.5 is a super-wide rangefinder lens in L39 (Leica thread) screw mount, produced during Canon's rangefinder era before the FD system arrived in 1971. Designed to pair with Canon's thread-mount bodies and compatible Leica and Bessa rangefinders, it was aimed at photographers wanting a compact wide-angle optic for reportage and architectural work.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Canon 25mm f/3.5 in L39 mount have ranged from £170 to £300, with a median around £230 across the five results we track. As of 2026, clean copies with original finder and caps tend to sell for the upper end of that band, while examples with cosmetic wear or haze slip toward the lower price point — note these are saleroom hammer figures, which sit below typical dealer retail.
