XF500mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR
FUJINON XF500mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR lens for X Series is here – and it’s redefining super-telephoto photography. Combining the advantages of an APS-C sensor with advanced optical design and manufacturing techniques, has helped create a far-reaching optic the size of a 300mm lens, yet offering the 35mm equivalent to a 762mm. Heavy cases, cumbersome tripods, and specialist handholding and focusing skills are a thing of the past. XF500mm paired with FUJIFILM X-H2S mirrorless digital camera body has a combined gear weight (including battery and memory card) of less than 2kg (4.41lbs) yet offers an impressive F5.6 maximum aperture.
Super-telephoto creativity is no longer reserved for specialists; it’s now within every photographer’s reach.
Birds soaring through the sky, athletes in fierce competition, planes flying high, animals in their natural habitat – making brilliant images of distant details is one of photography’s greatest challenges. But with a focal length equivalent to 762mm in the 35mm format, FUJINON XF500mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR lens gives you a front-row seat to do just that. Use the F5.6 maximum aperture to isolate a subject from its surroundings and create extraordinary images of incredible experiences.
Maneuvering heavy equipment for prolonged periods to be ready for a moment that may only last for a split second is tough, which is why the light weight and compact size of FUJINON XF500mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR lens matters.
We’ve achieved this by making each lens element as small and thin as possible, yet optimizing image quality through careful positioning of aspherical and ED elements. As a result, the lens weighs just 1335g (2.94lbs), yet still delivers critical sharpness.
Today’s creatives demand outstanding quality from a super-telephoto lens – simply bringing distant details close is not enough. FUJINON XF500mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR lens features 21 lens 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 optic, it will redefine how you see the world.
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.

Alongside a compact, lightweight design, powerful image stabilization makes a super-telephoto lens easy to use. FUJINON XF500mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR lens offers assured handholding thanks to an optical image stabilization (OIS) system providing 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 nearly any situation, including indoor and low-light scenarios.
I’m very impressed with how compact this lens is and the quality the optics that you get out of it just really incredible, like feathers of birds, let’s say that you want to have in focus.
The stabilization on this lens allowed me to bring the shots home even with super slow shutter speeds, I am talking even down to a 1/100 sec or 1/50sec handheld, which for a 500mm lens, is extremely impressive and something I have never seen before.
The striking first impression you get when handling this new lens is that it is very lightweight. Both the luminosity and the light weight are real assets that make it worth adding the lens in your backpack, to make yourself more versatile and able to shoot in any situation.
