Canon 28mm f/1.8
The Canon 28mm f/1.8 EF is a fast wide-angle autofocus prime for Canon's EF mount, the electronic AF system introduced in 1987 for the EOS SLR system. Its 28mm focal length and f/1.8 maximum aperture make it suited to reportage, interiors and low-light general photography on full-frame and APS-C EF bodies.
Sales data for this lens is thin: a single UK auction hammer result of £60 in late 2025 is the only verified data point, so a meaningful price range and median cannot yet be calculated. As of today in 2026, that figure suggests clean copies sell for modest money at saleroom level, though one result is not enough to establish what the lens is reliably worth — buyers should treat £60 as indicative rather than a benchmark for value.

Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
