Canon FD 28mm f/2.8

The Canon FD 28mm f/2.8 is a manual-focus wide-angle prime for Canon's FD mount, the bayonet system used on Canon SLRs from 1971 until the EOS transition in 1987. It was a mainstream consumer wide-angle aimed at landscape, reportage and general walk-around use, and is one of the most commonly encountered Canon FD primes today.

At UK auction in 2026 the FD 28mm f/2.8 is firmly a budget classic: hammer prices in our recorded saleroom history run from £25 to £94, with most clean copies selling for £30 to £56 and a median around £41. These figures are wholesale auction-room results rather than dealer asking prices, so retail value at a shop with a warranty will typically sit higher; condition, glass clarity and the presence of caps are what push a copy toward the upper end of that range.
