The Fujifilm GF 500mm F5.6 R LM OIS WR Lens is a super telephoto prime lens that can capture images up to 500mm (equivalent to 396mm in 35mm format), making it the longest in the lineup of GF lenses. When combined with the Fujinon Teleconverter GF 1.4X TC WR, which expands the lens' focal length, 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 high mobility.
The combination of the powerful telephoto performance of the GF 500mm F5.6 R LM OIS WR and the high resolution that the GFX series boasts results in a synergistic effect that allows for the precise depiction of fine details. This lens can accurately capture the sweat flying from athletes during decisive sports moments, the wrinkles on the skin of wild animals, and the individual feathers of birds, bringing out a level of realism and detail that cannot be perceived with the naked eye. By miniaturising a typically large and heavy super telephoto lens and achieving high-speed and high-precision autofocus, the GFX series enables super telephoto photography in sports, wildlife, and bird photography, where high mobility is required. Furthermore, with improved image stabilisation sensing accuracy and optimal mechanical design, it achieves a powerful image stabilisation mechanism with up to 6.0 stops of compensation. You can comfortably enjoy handheld shooting in the challenging super telephoto range where camera shake is more likely to occur. By combining the GFX series with the GF 500mm F5.6 R LM OIS WR, which is commonly used for super telephoto photography dominated by 35mm full-frame cameras, it opens up new possibilities and allows for unprecedented image depiction.
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, wildlife, and bird photography.
By combining it with the Fujinon Teleconverter GF1.4X TC WR that expands the lens' focal length, it achieves a maximum focal length equivalent to 700mm (equivalent to 554mm in 35mm format).
Adopts a luxurious lens construction of 14 groups and 21 elements, including two Super ED lenses and five ED lenses, effectively suppressing chromatic aberration specific to super telephoto lenses and achieving high resolution performance. It accurately captures the level of detail beyond what the naked eye can see that is unique to super telephoto lenses.
Through a redesign of the components and achieving lightweight parts design to the extreme, it has achieved a mass of approximately 1,375g, which overturns the conventional wisdom of large-format telephoto lenses. In addition to the lightweight design of each lens, the optimal arrangement of ED lenses and Super ED lenses minimises chromatic aberration that is likely to occur with miniaturisation, enabling both compact and lightweight construction and high resolution performance.
Despite being a telephoto lens that tends to have a larger front element, it achieves a comfortable grip without feeling the weight of the front by optimising the lens placement. Enjoy comfortable and less burdensome super telephoto photography.
It adopts a weather resistant, and -10°C low-temperature resistant structure with sealing at 18 points on the lens barrel. Furthermore, the front element of the lens is coated with fluorine, providing water-repellent and anti-smudge capabilities. It can be used with peace of mind for long-duration shooting in adverse weather conditions.
