High-speed GF super-telephoto lens

Extend your reach with the fast and precise FUJIFILM FUJINON GF 500mm f/5.6 R LM OIS WR lens. Ideal for sports and wildlife photography, this powerful super-telephoto lens is designed for GFX system users and provides a full-frame equivalent focal length of 396mm. The optical construction incorporates five ED and two Super ED elements to reduce aberrations and create detail-rich images. Six stops of image stabilization allow handheld photography with significantly less camera shake. The near-silent, high-performance linear autofocus motor helps users stay focused on their subjects. In addition, this lens is reliable in mildly adverse weather conditions due to its weatherproof design, which helps prevent dust and water from degrading it.

Optimized handling, class-leading portability

Refined for maneuverability, the FUJINON GF 500mm f/5.6 maintains a remarkably portable size for its class and weighs just over 3 pounds. This is a huge benefit for portable photographers, as are the six steps of image stabilization provided. Attached to the lens is a rotating tripod collar for maximum stability when shooting while mounted. Multiple buttons and switches are also available on the lens for quick adjustments, such as toggling image stabilization or switching from full focus to 16.4' and infinity.

The GF500mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR is a super-telephoto lens that can capture images up to 500mm (equivalent to 396mm in 35mm format), making it the longest in the GF lens range. When combined with the Fujinon GF1.4X TC WR Teleconverter, which extends the focal length of the lens, it achieves a maximum focal length of 700mm (equivalent to 554mm in 35mm format). Despite being a super-telephoto lens, it weighs approximately 1,375g and offers great mobility.

The combination of the powerful performance of the GF500mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR telephoto lens and the high resolution of the GFX series results in a synergistic effect that allows for the accurate representation of the finest details. This lens can accurately capture the sweat given off by athletes during decisive sporting moments, the wrinkles on the skin of wild animals and the individual feathers of birds, providing a level of realism and detail that cannot be perceived with the naked eye. By miniaturizing a normally large and heavy super-telephoto lens and achieving high-speed, high-precision autofocus, the GFX Series enables super-telephoto photography in sports, wildlife, and bird photography, where high mobility is required. In addition, with improved image stabilization detection accuracy and optimal mechanical design, it achieves a powerful image stabilization mechanism with up to 6.0 stops of compensation. You'll be able to comfortably enjoy handheld shooting in the demanding range of super-telephoto lenses, where camera shake is more likely. By combining the GFX series with the GF500mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR, which is commonly used for super-telephoto photography dominated by 35mm full-frame cameras, new possibilities are opened up and unprecedented image representation is enabled.

The longest telephoto lens in the range of "GF lenses.

• Equipped with a focal length of 500mm (equivalent to 396mm in 35mm format), making it the longest in the history of GF lenses and excelling in sports, nature and bird photography. 

• When combined with the Fujinon GF1.4X TC WR Teleconverter that extends the focal length of the lens, a maximum focal length equivalent to 700mm (equivalent to 554mm in 35mm format) is achieved. 

• It adopts luxurious 14-group, 21-element lens construction, including two Super ED lenses and five ED lenses, effectively suppressing the specific chromatic aberration of super-telephoto lenses and achieving high-resolution performance. It accurately captures the level of detail beyond what the human eye can see that is unique to super-telephoto lenses.

By achieving a combination of lightweight design and strength, it reduces the burden of long-running shots in any scene.

• Thanks to the redesign of the components and the achievement of a design of lightweight parts to the extreme, a mass of approximately 1,375 g has been achieved, which turns the conventional wisdom of large format telephoto lenses on its head. In addition to the lightweight design of each lens, the optimal arrangement of the ED and Super ED lenses minimizes the chromatic aberration likely to occur with miniaturization, enabling both compact, lightweight construction and high-resolution performance. 

• Despite being a telephoto lens that usually has a larger front element, it achieves a comfortable grip without feeling the weight of the front by optimizing the placement of the lens. Enjoy comfortable, light-weighted super-telephoto photography. 

• Adopts weatherproof and low-temperature structure of -10°C with 18-point sealing of the lens body. In addition, the front element of the lens is coated with fluorine, which gives it water-repellent and anti-dirt properties. It can be used with peace of mind to shoot for long periods of time in adverse weather conditions.

Powerful 6.0-stop image stabilization.

• By improving the camera's shake detection accuracy and applying optimal mechanism design, it achieves a powerful 6.0-stop image stabilization mechanism. You'll be able to shoot handheld comfortably in the demanding range of super-telephoto lenses, where camera shake is more likely.

Fast and accurate autofocus with comfortable handling.

• While maintaining high-resolution performance, it adopts an internal focusing system that incorporates a smaller, lighter focusing lens and drives the focus group using a linear motor. This allows for fast and quiet autofocus (AF) with a minimum delay of approximately 0.31 seconds. Even in super-telephoto shots, where precise focusing is required, you can capture your subject quickly and accurately without missing any decisive moments.

• The Focus Preset function allows you to shift the focus to a predefined location using the Focus Preset button. This reduces the workload for users, as they do not need to readjust the focus on a given subject.

• The lens also features the focus limiter, which allows users to restrict the target's AF range. This can effectively shorten AF time when photographing a subject that is five meters or more away.

• The Focus Control button is located on the front edge of the lens body. Press this button to instantly recall a function you've assigned with the focus selector for smooth AF operation.
