High-Speed Super-Telephoto Prime for Sports & Wildlife
Extend your creative reach with the FUJIFILM GF 500mm f/5.6 R LM OIS WR, a high-performance super-telephoto prime lens engineered specifically for GFX medium format cameras. Offering a 396mm full-frame equivalent focal length, this lens delivers powerful reach and exceptional clarity—ideal for sports, wildlife, birds-in-flight, outdoor action, and long-distance landscapes.
Built with advanced optics and professional-grade durability, the GF 500mm f/5.6 provides the precision, speed, and stability required by photographers who demand the very best from their gear.
Incredible Reach with Professional Optical Performance
The lens features a sophisticated 21-element, 14-group optical design, including five ED and two Super ED elements. These specialized elements dramatically reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing, ensuring images remain crisp, detailed, and high in contrast—even at full aperture and long distances.
A rounded 9-blade diaphragm produces smooth, natural bokeh that helps separating subjects from busy backgrounds, making this lens a standout choice for wildlife portraits and high-impact action shots.
Advanced Image Stabilization for Handheld Shooting
One of the standout features is its powerful 6-stop optical image stabilization (OIS). This makes handheld super-telephoto shooting significantly more practical, helping to compensate for camera shake when tracking moving subjects or shooting at slower shutter speeds.
Fast, Silent, and Accurate Autofocus
The GF 500mm f/5.6 uses a high-precision linear autofocus motor (LM) for nearly silent operation and rapid subject acquisition. Whether capturing fast-moving athletes or unpredictable wildlife, the lens maintains reliable focus performance, even in challenging conditions.
Lightweight, Balanced, and Built for the Field
Despite its reach, the GF 500mm f/5.6 is surprisingly portable. Weighing roughly 3 lb (without caps, hood, or tripod foot), it is one of the lightest lenses in its class—ideal for long stretches of handheld shooting or hiking deep into the field.
Key handling highlights include:
Rotatable tripod collar for quick transitions between vertical and horizontal shooting
Convenient onside buttons and switches for rapid control (focus range limiter, OIS toggle, function buttons)
Focus limiter for optimized speed from full range or 16.4 ft (5m) to infinity
Weather-Resistant for Outdoor Reliability
Designed for photographers who work in unpredictable environments, the GF 500mm f/5.6 features a robust weather-sealed WR construction. Dust, moisture, and light rain are no match for this durable design, allowing you to shoot confidently in the field.
Additional Features
Minimum focusing distance: 9 ft (2.75m)
Maximum magnification: 0.2x
Large 95mm filter thread for polarizers, UV filters, and specialty glass
Compatible with the FUJIFILM GF 1.4X TC WR Teleconverter, extending reach even further without sacrificing optical performance
