Razor-Sharp Responses

Super-telephoto power is nothing without autofocusing speed. The whisper-quiet linear motor in FUJINON XF500mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR lens achieves accurate focus 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 minimize chromatic and spherical aberrations, while still allowing the focusing lens group to move with speed and precision.
