XF16-50mmF2.8-4.8 R LM WR
Combining a super telephoto lens with a large format sensor, GF500mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR puts previously out-of-reach subjects in range for FUJIFILM GFX System users. Offering the equivalent to a 396mm lens in the 35mm format – double that of Fujifilm’s GF250mmF4 R LM OIS WR lens – it enables sporting action, animals, and birds to be recorded with unsurpassed levels of detail. Going beyond what the eye can see, this lens creates depth and drama every time you press the shutter.
GF500mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR brings distant subjects into reach. It makes high-resolution images full of depth, revealing previously unseen details in scenes, whether using the whole frame or utilizing the resolution to crop. This incredible performance has never been so accessible, thanks to the lens’s compact dimensions and light weight.
You don’t need to be an athlete to use this super telephoto lens. Every part of its design has been optimized to create an optic weighing just 1375g (48.5oz) – almost unthinkable for a lens with this reach – and without compromise in quality or handling. Super ED and ED elements prevent chromatic aberration, and its weight is evenly distributed for comfortable, sustained use.
The optical quality of GF500mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR brings unseen distant details to life. The sweat on an athlete’s brow, water on a bird’s plumage, and hairs on an animal’s body are all revealed to help tell your creative story. Two Super ED and five ED lens elements ensure aberrations are suppressed, while its optical configuration delivers the incredible high-resolution results and image-making possibilities expected from a large format system.
A long telephoto lens must be ready for action, and the razor-sharp reflexes of GF500mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR mean you’ll never miss a moment. Its linear motor produces high-speed, silent AF performance due to the minimal weight and optimized movement of the focusing mechanism. A focus preset function minimizes time for subject acquisition.
Image stabilization is essential for any super telephoto lens, whether you’re on the move, working indoors, in low-light conditions, or unable to use a tripod. The Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) in GF500mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR is compact, yet powerful 6.0-Stop, and helps to ensure the highest quality is maintained on every image.
The thing that really did strike me was the size and the length of the lens. And it allows me to move around in the field shooting and following some wildlife that I want to get.
I would say in sports I’ve met plenty sports photographers who shoot on GFX that wish there was a longer lens option out there. Nature photographers they should be thrilled. And I definitely see a use for it in fashion and commercial. It just gives us a super cool look.
Now, we have an extremely reliable large format system and even a long telephoto dedicated to sports, that is something almost unbelievable. This new lens GF500mmF5.6 is a new starting point and it allows me to use a GFX camera on pure sports photography.
