Canon FD 55mm f/1.2 S.S.C.

The Canon FD 55mm f/1.2 S.S.C. is a fast standard prime manual-focus lens for Canon's FD mount, produced during the 1970s FD era. Designed for 35mm SLR bodies, its f/1.2 maximum aperture made it a low-light and shallow-depth-of-field workhorse for full-frame film photography.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the FD 55mm f/1.2 S.S.C. have ranged from £90 to £164, with a median around £140 — wholesale saleroom results rather than retail asking prices. As of 2026, clean, fungus-free copies sit at the upper end of that range, while examples with cosmetic or optical issues sell for less. What a FD 55mm f/1.2 S.S.C. is worth today depends heavily on glass condition and aperture smoothness.
