Canon 70-210mm f/4
The Canon FD 70-210mm f/4 is a constant-aperture telephoto zoom for Canon's manual-focus FD mount, which was produced from 1971 until the EF system replaced it in 1987. It was designed as a general-purpose telephoto zoom for SLR users wanting a single lens to cover portrait through medium-tele range on 35mm film.
UK auction data for this lens is thin: a single 2023 hammer result of £10 sits in our records, so the wholesale saleroom level for a worn copy is firmly at the entry tier in 2026. As a guide to what an FD 70-210mm f/4 is worth today, that £10 figure reflects an unverified, lower-condition example at auction; cleaner copies typically sell for more at retail, but we cannot confirm a price range from this sample. Treat the median as indicative only until further sales accumulate.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Canon FD 70-210mm f/4 worth at UK auction?
Our only logged UK hammer price is £10 from August 2023, so the documented auction value is at the very low end; that figure is unverified and represents wholesale saleroom level rather than a retail price.
How much does a Canon FD 70-210mm f/4 sell for today?
On the limited data available, this lens sells for around £10 at hammer for a basic example, though clean, fungus-free copies generally command higher prices through dealers and private sale.
Does the FD 70-210mm f/4 fit modern Canon EF or RF cameras?
Not natively — it uses the older manual-focus FD mount, so adapting it to EF or RF bodies requires a third-party adapter and you lose infinity focus with most simple options.
