Canon FD 28mm f/2

The Canon FD 28mm f/2 is a fast manual-focus wide-angle prime for the Canon FD mount system, produced during the FD era (1971–1987) for 35mm SLR bodies. Designed for general reportage, landscape, and low-light wide work, its f/2 maximum aperture made it one of the brighter 28mm options in the FD line-up.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the FD 28mm f/2 have ranged from £138 to £380, with a median around £188 based on the sales on record. A clean October 2023 result of £380 sits well above the two 2025 hammers of £188 and £138, suggesting condition and completeness drive most of the variance in what this lens is worth today. As of 2026, typical saleroom value is in the mid-hundreds for tidy copies, while rough examples sell for under £150.
