Canon FD 135mm f/2

The Canon FD 135mm f/2 is a fast short-telephoto prime for the manual-focus FD mount, produced during Canon's FD era that ran from 1971 to 1987. The bright f/2 aperture made it a specialist portrait and available-light lens, sitting above the more common f/2.5 and f/3.5 135mm options in the FD line-up.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the FD 135mm f/2 have ranged from £220 to £300, with a median of around £229 across the four sales recorded between 2023 and 2025. As of 2026 the lens still sells for similar money at saleroom level, and clean, haze-free copies tend to sit toward the upper end of that band while examples with cosmetic or optical faults drift lower.
