FUJIFILM XF 500mm f/5.6 R LM OIS WR Lens

Description

The FUJIFILM XF 500mm f/5.6 R LM OIS WR lens is a compact and lightweight super-telephoto prime lens designed for FUJIFILM X-mount cameras. It offers an impressive 762mm equivalent focal length (on a full-frame system), bringing distant subjects within reach for wildlife, sports, and bird photography. Its fast and accurate linear motor autofocus, combined with 5.5 stops of optical image stabilization, ensures sharp images and smooth video even when shooting handheld. The weather-sealed construction provides added durability and peace of mind in challenging environments.

• Compact Super-Telephoto Prime: The FUJIFILM XF 500mm f/5.6 R LM OIS WR stands out for its remarkable compactness and lightweight design, especially considering its super-telephoto reach. Weighing less than 3 lbs and measuring just over 10 inches, this lens is designed for comfortable handheld use, making it significantly more portable than comparable lenses in its class. This portability opens up new possibilities for capturing distant subjects without the burden of heavy equipment. The compact design doesn't compromise on image quality, delivering exceptional sharpness and detail across the frame.  
•  Fast, Accurate Linear Autofocus Motor: Equipped with a Linear Motor autofocus system, this lens delivers exceptionally fast, accurate, and near-silent focusing performance. This is crucial for capturing fleeting moments in wildlife or sports photography. The autofocus system works seamlessly with the subject detection algorithms found in FUJIFILM X-series cameras, further enhancing tracking and focus acquisition. The inclusion of focus presets helps to minimize focus times, which is particularly beneficial when photographing fast-moving subjects. This advanced autofocus system ensures that you can confidently capture sharp, in-focus images even in challenging situations.  
• 5.5-Stop Optical Image Stabilizer: The built-in 5.5-stop optical image stabilization (OIS) system significantly reduces camera shake, allowing for sharper images when shooting handheld at long focal lengths. This is a critical feature for super-telephoto photography, where even minor movements can result in blurred images. The OIS system allows you to shoot at slower shutter speeds, expanding your creative possibilities and improving image quality in low-light conditions. It also contributes to smoother video recording, minimizing unwanted camera shake.  
• ED and Super ED Elements: The lens's optical construction incorporates five extra-low dispersion (ED) elements and two super extra-low dispersion (Super ED) elements. These specialized glass elements effectively minimize chromatic aberrations and distortions, which are common issues in long telephoto lenses. By controlling these optical imperfections, the lens delivers exceptional image clarity, sharpness, and color accuracy across the entire zoom range. The advanced optical design ensures that the lens can resolve the fine details captured by high-resolution sensors, making it an ideal choice for demanding photographers.  
• Weather-Sealed Construction: Designed to withstand the elements, the lens features a weather-sealed construction. This robust sealing protects against dust, moisture, and low temperatures, allowing you to use the lens confidently in challenging environments. Whether you're shooting in rain, snow, or dusty conditions, the weather-sealed construction ensures that your lens remains protected, allowing you to focus on capturing the perfect shot without worrying about equipment damage. This added durability makes the lens a reliable tool for outdoor photographers.
