The FUJIFILM XF 500mm f/5.6 R LM OIS WR Lens provides the longest prime lens coverage in FUJIFILM's lineup, making it ideal for capturing distant subjects such as birds, sports, and wildlife. This lens delivers sharp, continuous focus, enhancing subject separation and creating beautifully blurred backgrounds. With a full-frame equivalent of 762mm, it achieves impressive image quality while maintaining a compact and lightweight design. The lens is equipped with a 5.5-stop optical image stabilization system, ensuring stability and clarity that complement the resolving power of X-series 40.2MP sensors.

This lens is an excellent choice for photographers seeking to capture high-quality images of distant subjects with ease and precision.

• APS-C format with an aperture range of f/5.6 to f/22.
• A compact super-telephoto prime lens designed for excellent portability.
• A fast and accurate linear autofocus motor for quick and precise focusing.
• 5.5-stop optical image stabilization to minimize camera shake.
• Advanced optical construction with ED and Super ED elements to reduce chromatic aberrations.
• A rounded 9-blade diaphragm that enhances bokeh quality for a pleasing out-of-focus effect.
• Weather-sealed construction that allows for reliable performance in challenging environmental conditions.

Weighing less than three pounds and measuring 10.1 inches, this lens is specifically designed for comfortable handheld use. Its 5.5 stops of optical image stabilization effectively counteract camera shake, enhancing stability during shooting. For added support in challenging conditions, the tripod collar foot is Arca-Swiss compatible, making it easy to use with tripods and monopods.

The optical design features five extra-low dispersion elements and two super extra-low dispersion elements, significantly reducing distortions and color aberrations commonly associated with long lenses. With a 21-element, 14-group configuration, it delivers the sharpness and clarity required for capturing images with 40.2MP X-series sensors. Additionally, the rounded 9-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth bokeh effect, further enhanced by the spatial compression characteristic of super telephoto focal lengths.

The lens is equipped with a Linear Motor autofocus system that provides rapid, precise, and near-silent focusing, making it an excellent choice for both still photography and videography. This advanced system is further enhanced by the sophisticated subject detection algorithms found in FUJIFILM's X-series cameras, which intelligently track subjects for optimal focus. 

To cater to the needs of dynamic shooting environments, the lens also features customizable presets designed to minimize focusing times. These presets are particularly beneficial for capturing fast-moving subjects, such as athletes in action or wildlife in their natural habitat, ensuring that you never miss a crucial moment. 

With the combination of high-speed autofocus, intelligent subject tracking, and quick-adjusting presets, this lens empowers photographers and videographers to achieve stunning results in a variety of shooting scenarios, providing the confidence to capture fleeting moments with accuracy and ease.

The lens is fully compatible with optional 1.4x and 2x teleconverters, extending its reach to 700mm and 1000mm, respectively, all while maintaining exceptional image quality. Additionally, the lens features robust weather sealing to guard against dust and moisture, allowing for reliable performance in challenging conditions when paired with a weather-resistant X-series camera body.
