Fujifilm XF500mm F5.6 R LM OIS WR Lens

The Fujifilm XF500mm F5.6 R LM OIS WR is a compact and lightweight (1335g), super-telephoto APS-C format prime lens, which is ideal for wildlife, sport and aircraft photography. Its superior resolving power and portability make high-quality telephoto photography more accessible than ever. It features a powerful 5.5-stop optical image stabilisation system. This ensures sharp and stable images, even at extended focal lengths.

Optical performance
The lens features a construction with 21 elements in 14 groups, including two Super ED lenses and five ED lenses. This advanced optical design thoroughly suppresses chromatic aberration, which is commonly associated with super-telephoto lenses, to achieve exceptional resolving power. It captures an extraordinary amount of detail, beyond what the naked eye can see, inherent to super-telephoto photography.

Portable lens with superior resolution
Leveraging the APS-C format, which provides a 1.5x crop factor equivalent, the XF500mm F5.6 R LM OIS WR maintains a compact and lightweight design with a reduced weight of approximately 1,335g, despite achieving a focal length equivalent to 762mm (35mm format) at F5.6. Its precise mechanical design ensures both high mobility and premium resolving power by minimizing chromatic aberration through the optimal arrangement of ED and Super ED lenses.

Dust and weather-resistant structure
The lens features a dust and weather-resistant structure with 20 sealing points on the barrel and can operate in temperatures as low as -10°C. Additionally, the front element is fluorine-coated, providing hydrophobic and anti-stain properties. This makes the lens reliable for extended shooting sessions in harsh weather conditions.

Powerful 5.5-stop Optical Image Stabilisation
Enhanced sensing accuracy and an optimized mechanical design allow the XF500mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR to achieve a powerful 5.5-stop optical image stabilisation system. This ensures comfortable handheld shooting in the super-telephoto range, which is typically susceptible to camera shake.

High-Speed, silent, precision autofocus
The adoption of an inner focus system allows for a compact and lightweight focus lens assembly. Combined with a high-speed linear motor, this enables fast and silent autofocus, achieving a focus speed as quick as 0.33 seconds. This ensures that even in the super-telephoto range, where precise focus is crucial, subjects can be captured swiftly and accurately.

Comfortable operation
The Focus Preset function is featured so that the focus can be shifted to a location pre-defined with the Focus Preset button. This reduces users’ operation workload as they don’t need to re-adjust focus on a targeted subject.
The lens also features the Focus Limiter, allowing users to restrict the lens’s AF range. This can effectively shorten AF time when photographing a subject that is five meters away or more.
The Focus Control button is placed at the front edge of the lens barrel. Press this button to instantly recall a function you have assigned with the Focus Selector for smooth AF operation.
