Fujifilm Fujinon XF 500mm F5.6 R LM OIS WR lens

The Fuji GF 500mm is the longest telephoto lens for Fuji's X-series cameras. The cine equivalent focal length is 750mm and is also compatible with 1.4x and 2x teleconverters.

If the lens looks familiar, it was previously announced as a version compatible with GFX medium format cameras, meaning the drawing capabilities indicate that this is designed to work with 100 megapixel image sensors as well. On an X-series body, the sharpest center of the lens is used

Thanks to Fuji's linear focus motor, focus can be locked in as little as 0.33 seconds and the lens is compatible with the new bodies' advanced subject detection autofocus programs. In addition, like super telephoto lenses, there is a focus range limiter for shooting distant subjects, for example, in addition, the focus distance can be stored in memory and there are four buttons around the lens for locking and activating focus. The closest focusing distance is 2.75m.

The lens's center of gravity also helps when shooting fast subjects, with most of the lens elements being at the rear, making handheld shooting more comfortable. The lens weighs about 1.3 kilograms.

The Fujifilm XF 500mm includes optical image stabilization with a 5.5-stop stabilization and this also works in conjunction with the body's image stabilization.

The lens is of the familiar Fuji quality in terms of mechanical quality. The weather-resistant construction is suitable for even the most demanding nature photography and there are seals in a total of 20 different positions. The included and removable tripod collar is directly Arca Swiss compatible, meaning the lens can be attached directly to most common tripod heads.
