FujiFilm XF 500mm f5.6 R LM OIS WR Lens

The FujiFilm XF 500mm f/5.6 is a super-telephoto lens designed for wildlife, sports, and action photographers who need to get close to distant subjects. With a focal length equivalent to 762mm on a 35mm sensor, this lens provides significant reach for Fujifilm's X-mount mirrorless cameras, which have an APS-C size sensor. It has a variable aperture from f/5.6 to f/22 allows you to control depth-of-field and adapt to different lighting conditions. It offers an equivalent focal length of 500mm on a full-frame sensor, ideal for getting close-up shots in super-telephoto applications.

The lens has 21 elements arranged in 14 groups, including both Super ED and ED elements, which are designed to reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing for clearer, sharper images. It is equipped with a Linear Autofocus Motor that provides fast and quiet focusing, critical for capturing fast-moving subjects without startling them or disrupting the moment. This lens features a rounded 9-blade diaphragm, contributing to a pleasant bokeh quality for isolating subjects from the background. Its maximum magnification of 0.2x is useful for capturing smaller details on distant subjects. Optical Image Stabilization is crucial for handheld shooting at such long focal lengths, helping to minimize the appearance of camera shake.

The lens has a 2.75m minimum focusing distance, enabling photographers to get closer to subjects while still maintaining a significant magnification. A 95mm filter thread allows the attachment of various filters for creative control and lens protection.
