Fujifilm XF500mm F5.6 R LM OIS WR

The FUJINON XF500mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR lens for the X series has arrived, redefining super-telephoto photography. By combining the advantages of an APS-C sensor with advanced optical design and manufacturing techniques, it has been possible to create a far-reaching optic that is the size of a 300mm lens, while offering the 35mm equivalent of a 762mm. Heavy bodies, bulky tripods, and specialized grip and focusing skills are now a thing of the past.

The XF500mm lens paired with the FUJIFILM X-H2S mirrorless digital camera body has a combined weight (including battery and memory card) of less than 2kg (4.41lb) while offering an impressive maximum aperture of F5.6. Super-telephoto creativity is no longer reserved for specialists; it is now within reach of all photographers.

Take a front-row seat
Birds soaring in the sky, athletes in fierce competition, aircraft flying at high altitudes, animals in their natural habitat: capturing brilliant images of distant details is one of photography’s greatest challenges. But with a focal length equivalent to 762mm in 35mm format, the FUJINON XF500mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR lens gives you a front-row seat to achieve it. Use the F5.6 maximum aperture to isolate a subject from its surroundings and create extraordinary images of incredible experiences.

Lightweight and powerful
It’s hard to maneuver heavy equipment for extended periods of time to be ready to capture split-second shots. That’s why the FUJINON XF500mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR lens’s light weight and compact size are important.
We achieved this by making each lens element as small and thin as possible, while optimizing image quality through careful positioning of the aspherical and ED elements. As a result, the lens weighs just 1,335g (2.94lb), while still delivering critical sharpness.

Optically Exceptional
Today’s creatives demand exceptional quality from a super telephoto lens. It’s not enough to bring distant details closer. The FUJINON XF500mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR lens features 21 elements in 14 groups and uses Super ED and ED glass for uncompromising contrast, detail and sharpness. Combined with the familiar perspective compression of a super telephoto lens, it will redefine the way you see the world.

Impressively Fast
The power of super telephoto is nothing without fast autofocus. The FUJINON XF500mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR lens’s silent linear motor enables precise focusing in just 0.33 seconds *1, so you’ll never miss a moment. This performance is made possible by the precise arrangement of lens elements, which minimizes chromatic and spherical aberrations, while allowing the focusing lens group to move quickly and accurately.

Solid Stabilization
In addition to a compact and lightweight design, powerful image stabilization makes a super telephoto lens easy to use. The FUJINON XF500mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR lens provides a secure grip thanks to an optical image stabilization (OIS) system that offers up to 5.5 stops of correction. Advanced OIS technology processes signals in real time for extreme precision, while the lens group responsible for vertical image stabilization has been optimized and miniaturized. The result? Complete confidence to work handheld in almost any situation, including indoors and in low light conditions.
