Canon FD 135mm f/3.5

The Canon FD 135mm f/3.5 is a manual-focus short telephoto prime for the Canon FD mount, which Canon produced between 1971 and 1987 for its SLR system. It was designed as an affordable, compact portrait and medium-telephoto lens, offering a modest maximum aperture in a light, travel-friendly body.

At UK auction in recent years, hammer prices for the FD 135mm f/3.5 have ranged from £20 to £74, with a median around £25 based on the sales on record. As of 2026 the lens remains one of the cheaper FD primes to buy at saleroom level, and only clean, haze-free examples tend to push toward the upper end of that range, while tired copies often sell for what a 135mm is worth as a parts donor.
