Canon's FD mount served the company's manual-focus SLR system from 1971 until the arrival of the autofocus EOS line in 1987. FD glass is prized today for its optical quality, build, and the bargain entry it offers into full-frame-equivalent vintage primes. This guide tracks real UK auction values across the FD range and links through to every model we hold price data for.
