Canon FD 35mm f/3.5

The Canon FD 35mm f/3.5 is a compact manual-focus wide-angle prime for the Canon FD SLR mount, produced during Canon's FD era between 1971 and 1987. It was positioned as the budget 35mm option in the FD line-up, intended for general-purpose landscape, street and travel work on 35mm film bodies such as the AE-1, A-1 and F-1.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the FD 35mm f/3.5 have ranged from £20 to £50, with a median around £32, reflecting its status as one of the more affordable FD wide-angles today in 2026. Six saleroom results between late 2023 and early 2025 show how little the lens is worth at wholesale level, and clean, fungus-free examples consistently sell for the upper end of that band while tired copies fetch £20–£30. Because these figures are UK auction hammer results rather than dealer retail, expect shop prices to sit noticeably above this range.
