Canon FD 20mm f/2.8

The Canon FD 20mm f/2.8 is a manual-focus ultra-wide-angle prime for Canon's FD bayonet system, produced during the FD era (1971–1987). With its 20mm focal length and f/2.8 maximum aperture, it was designed for landscape, architectural and interior work on 35mm film SLRs.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the FD 20mm f/2.8 have sat in a tight £150–£170 band across the two recorded sales, giving a median around £160 — a useful guide to what the lens is worth at saleroom level today in 2026. Because these are wholesale auction results rather than retail, clean dealer-listed copies typically sell for more, and the price a user-grade example fetches depends heavily on glass and aperture condition.
