FUJIFILM XF 500mm F5.6 R LM OIS WR Lens, FU50056W

Bringing It All Within Your Reach

Offering FUJIFILM's longest prime lens coverage yet, the XF 500mm f/5.6 R LM OIS WR Lens brings distant subjects like birds, sports, and other wildlife within your reach, offering sharp, continuous focus with subject separation and blurred background effects. The full-frame equivalent 762mm lens achieves this image quality while keeping its size and weight to a minimum, helped by 5.5 stops of optical image stabilization to produce results that match the resolving power of X-series 40.2MP sensors.

 

Product Features

(1) The highest optical performance of “XF lens”

  • The “XF500mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR” has a focal length of super-telephoto 500mm (equivalent to 762mm in 35mm format), the longest*3 in the prime lens lineup of “XF lens,” and an open aperture of F5.6. In addition to sports photography, the lens is useful for shooting wild birds, wild animals, and aircraft.
  • Combined with teleconverters, the focal length of the lens can be further extended. “FUJINON Teleconverter XF1.4X TC WR” provides a maximum focal length equivalent to 700mm (equivalent to 1067mm in 35mm format), and the “FUJINON Teleconverter XF2.0X TC WR” provides a maximum focal length equivalent to 1000mm (equivalent to 1524mm in 35mm format).
  • The lens consists of 21 lens elements in 14 groups, including two Super ED lenses and five ED lenses. Chromatic aberration characteristic of super-telephoto lenses has been thoroughly suppressed to achieve high resolution performance. The lens fully depicts the amount of information beyond what the naked eye can see, which is unique to super-telephotography.

 

(2) Combines high mobility and excellent resolution performance that overturns the conventional wisdom of super-telephoto lenses

  • While making maximum use of the characteristics of the APS-C format, which provides a 1.5 times larger image in the 35mm format equivalent, the lens is compact and lightweight, weighing only 1,335g, despite its F5.6 on a 35mm format equivalent of 762mm, through precise mechanical design. In addition, the optimal arrangement of ED and Super ED lenses minimizes chromatic aberration, which tends to occur with super-telephoto lenses, to achieve both high mobility and excellent resolution performance.
  • Although super-telephoto lenses tend to have a heavy front lens element, the new lens with its optimum lens arrangement ensures a comfortable hold without feeling the weight of the front lens element. This allows users to enjoy comfortable, low-burden super-telephoto photography.
  • The lens barrel is sealed in 20 places to make it dustproof, drip-proof, and resistant to temperatures as low as -10℃. In addition, the front element of the lens is coated with a fluorine coating to repel water and stains. The lens can be used safely for long hours of shooting in bad weather.

(3) Powerful optical image stabilization performance of 5.5 stops

  • The powerful 5.5-step optical image stabilization mechanism has been realized by improving the accuracy of camera shake sensing and optimizing the mechanism design. This allows users to comfortably enjoy hand-held photography in the super-telephoto range, where camera shake can easily affect the image quality.

(4) Comfortable operability and fast, quiet, and highly accurate AF

  • The use of an inner focus system reduces the size and weight of the focus lens. Furthermore, by driving the focus group with a high-speed linear motor, the camera achieves fast and silent AF with a minimum speed of approximately 0.33 seconds*4. Even when shooting in the super-telephoto range, where advanced focusing is required, the subject can be captured quickly and accurately, ensuring that the decisive moment is not missed.
  • The Focus Preset function allows the focus to be instantly shifted to a pre-set position with the SET button. Since there is no need to refocus on the targeted subject, the operator's burden during shooting is reduced.
  • Equipped with a focus limiter function*5 that limits the range of the lens drive when focusing, the lens drive time can be shortened when shooting subjects at a distance of five meters or more, enabling high-speed AF.
  • The “Focus control button” is located at the tip of the lens barrel. The function assigned from AF-L/AF-ON/PRESET of the “Focus Selector” can be instantly recalled for smooth AF operation.
  • *4 Internal measurement method based on CIPA guidelines. When “FUJIFILM GFX100 II” is mounted. AF speed when phase detection AF is used and High Performance Mode is ON.
  • *5 The focus limiter function can be activated by the “Focus range selector”.
