Canon 25mm f/3.5

{"overview":"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. 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.","buying_guide":"Because this is a small-element wide-angle from the rangefinder era, inspect the front and rear groups under a torch for fungus, haze and cleaning marks, as any of these will hit value hard. Check the aperture blades for oil migration and confirm the iris snaps cleanly between stops, and rotate the focus helicoid end to end to feel for stiffness, dry grease or grit.
