FUJIFILM XF 500mm f/5.6 R LM OIS WR Lens Bundle with 95mm UV Filter + Deluxe Photo Starter Kit + 67" Professional Monopod + Cleaning Cloth (5 Items)

The XF 500mm f/5.6 R LM OIS WR Lens from FUJIFILM provides the most extensive prime lens coverage to date, enabling photographers to capture distant subjects such as birds, sports, and wildlife with ease. This lens delivers sharp, continuous focus, allowing for effective subject separation and aesthetically pleasing blurred backgrounds. With a full-frame equivalent of 750mm, it maintains exceptional image quality while minimizing size and weight. The inclusion of 5.5 stops of optical image stabilization ensures results that align with the resolving capabilities of the latest X-series 40.2MP sensors.

Lens Design

Weighing under three pounds and measuring 10.1 inches, this lens is specifically designed for handheld operation. The inclusion of 5.5 stops of optical image stabilization enhances handheld usability by mitigating camera shake. For scenarios that demand additional stability, the tripod collar foot is compatible with Arca-Swiss systems, allowing for seamless integration with tripods and monopods.

The optical configuration features five extra-low dispersion elements alongside two super extra-low dispersion elements, effectively minimizing distortions and color aberrations commonly associated with lenses of this focal length. With a 21-element, 14-group optical structure, this lens provides the sharpness and clarity required for capturing images with the advanced 40.2MP X-series sensors. Additionally, the rounded 9-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh, further enhanced by the spatial compression characteristic of super telephoto focal lengths.

Linear Motor Autofocus

Super-telephoto capabilities are rendered ineffective without rapid autofocusing. The FUJINON XF 500mm f/5.6 R LM OIS WR lens features a whisper-quiet linear motor that achieves precise focus in merely 0.33 seconds, ensuring that no moment is overlooked. This exceptional performance is attributed to the meticulous arrangement of lens elements, which effectively reduce chromatic and spherical aberrations while enabling the focusing lens group to operate with both speed and accuracy.

The Linear Motor autofocus system provides swift, precise, and nearly silent operation, further augmented by the subject detection algorithms present in X-series cameras. Moreover, the lens is equipped with presets designed to reduce focus times, making it particularly suitable for capturing fast-moving subjects.

Image Stabilization

The FUJINON XF 500mm f/5.6 R LM OIS WR lens combines a compact and lightweight design with exceptional image stabilization, facilitating ease of use for super-telephoto photography. Its optical image stabilization (OIS) system delivers up to 5.5 stops of correction, ensuring reliable handholding. The advanced OIS technology processes signals in real time, allowing for remarkable precision, while the lens group dedicated to vertical image stabilization has been both optimized and miniaturized. Consequently, photographers can confidently operate handheld in a variety of conditions, including indoor and low-light environments.
