Canon EF 35mm f/2
The Canon EF 35mm f/2 is a wide-angle prime for the Canon EF autofocus mount, introduced as a compact, fast 35mm option for full-frame and APS-C EOS bodies. It was designed as a general-purpose reportage and walk-around lens, offering a moderately wide field of view with a useful f/2 maximum aperture.
At recent UK auction, clean copies of the EF 35mm f/2 have fetched around £250 at the hammer, with both recorded sales settling at that figure — so the median price sells for £250 on wholesale, saleroom terms (hammer results exclude buyer's and seller's commission). As of 2026, that narrow spread suggests a stable but thinly traded market for the original screw-drive version; buyers asking what an EF 35mm f/2 is worth today should treat £250 as the working benchmark, with condition and box/papers swinging value at the margins.
