Canon FD 24mm f/2

The Canon FD 24mm f/2 is a fast wide-angle prime for the manual-focus FD mount system that Canon produced from 1971 to 1987. Its f/2 maximum aperture made it one of the brighter 24mm options of its era, aimed at reportage and low-light photographers working on Canon SLR bodies such as the F-1, A-1 and AE-1.

At UK auction the FD 24mm f/2 has produced hammer prices ranging from £180 to £325 across recent sales, with a median around £188 — these are saleroom results without buyer's or seller's commission rather than dealer retail. As of 2026 the lens remains a relatively scarce fast wide-angle, and the 2023 result of £325 shows that exceptionally clean copies can sell for a premium over the more typical sub-£200 range, while the 2025 sale at £180 reflects what an honest user-grade example is worth today.
