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.
Lens Design
Weighing less than 3 lb and measuring 10.1", the lens design is optimized for handheld use. The 5.5 stops of optical image stabilization further aids handheld use by compensating for camera shake. In situations where extra stability is required, the tripod collar foot is Arca-type compatible for use with tripods and monopods.
The optical design comprises five extra-low dispersion elements and two super extra-low dispersion elements, which help to reduce distortions and color aberrations typically found in lenses of this length. The 21-element, 14-group optical design delivers the sharpness and clarity necessary when shooting with 40.2MP X-series sensors, while the rounded, 9-blade diaphragm delivers a smooth and rounded bokeh that's further augmented by the spatial compression inherent in super telephoto focal lengths.
