Description — Fujifilm GF 500mm f/5.6 R LM OIS WR
The FUJINON GF500mm F5.6 R LM OIS WR is a 500mm prime telephoto lens designed for the Fujifilm GFX medium format camera system. As a prime optic, it delivers a single fixed focal length, demanding precise positioning from the photographer but offering dedicated optical performance at that distance. The maximum aperture of f/5.6 keeps the lens at a manageable physical size relative to its focal length.
Built-in Optical Image Stabilization addresses the challenge of camera shake that is amplified at long focal lengths. The 82mm filter thread is a practical choice for shooters who rely on ND, polarizer, or other filter types in the field. Tipping the scales at 1,570g, this is a substantial lens that reflects the engineering required for a medium format 500mm design.
Focus options include both auto and manual, giving the operator full control over focusing method. Mount compatibility is strictly Fujifilm GFX, making it a dedicated tool within that ecosystem.
