Lens Overview — Fujifilm 500mm f/5.6 R LM OIS WR

The FUJINON XF500mm F5.6 R LM OIS WR is a 500mm prime super telephoto lens built for Fujifilm X-mount mirrorless cameras. Designed specifically for the APS-C format, it delivers a fixed f/5.6 maximum aperture at an extreme focal length that makes it a compelling choice for wildlife, sports, and any subject that demands serious reach. As a prime lens, it offers a singular, dedicated optical design at the 500mm focal length rather than a zoom compromise.

The lens supports both autofocus and manual focus operation, and optical image stabilization is built in to help manage camera shake at such a long focal length — a meaningful feature when shooting handheld at 500mm. The 82mm filter thread is a standard size for large telephoto glass, making compatible filters reasonably accessible. Weighing in at 1,360g, the XF500mm is a substantial piece of kit, though that's an expected trade-off for a prime super telephoto of this class.

It is compatible exclusively with the Fujifilm X mount, so it is purpose-built for photographers already invested in the Fujifilm X-series mirrorless ecosystem. If you need maximum reach and optical image stabilization in the Fujifilm X system, this dedicated 500mm prime deserves serious consideration.

Key Features — Fujifilm 500mm f/5.6 R LM OIS WR

500mm Prime Focal Length: A fixed 500mm focal length delivers an equivalent field of view of approximately 762mm in full-frame terms, providing extreme reach for wildlife and sports photographers.

f/5.6 Maximum Aperture: A constant f/5.6 aperture at 500mm allows for reasonable subject separation and usable shutter speeds in good light at extreme distances.

Optical Image Stabilization: Built-in OIS compensates for camera shake at this demanding focal length, making handheld shooting at 500mm a practical option.

Linear Motor Autofocus: The LM designation indicates a linear motor drive for fast, quiet autofocus response well-suited to tracking moving subjects.

Weather-Resistant Construction: The WR rating means the lens is sealed against dust and moisture, supporting use in outdoor conditions where wildlife and sports shooting often takes place.

Fujifilm X-Mount Native: Designed exclusively for the Fujifilm X-mount, the lens communicates fully with X-series bodies for autofocus, stabilization, and exposure control.

Frequently Asked Questions — Fujifilm 500mm f/5.6 R LM OIS WR

Which cameras is the FUJINON XF500mm F5.6 compatible with?+
This lens is built for the Fujifilm X mount (mount.lens: Fujifilm X) and is designed for APS-C format mirrorless cameras. It is compatible with Fujifilm X-mount mirrorless bodies and is not compatible with other camera systems.
Does this lens have image stabilization?+
Yes, the XF500mm includes optical image stabilization (imageStabilization: Optical). This is built into the lens itself, which is particularly useful at the 500mm focal length where even minor camera movement is magnified.
Is autofocus available on this lens?+
Yes, the lens supports both autofocus and manual focus (focusType: Auto, Manual). This gives shooters the flexibility to rely on AF for fast-moving subjects or switch to manual focus when precise control is preferred.
What filter size does the XF500mm use?+
The lens features an 82mm filter thread (filterThreadSize: 82). This is a common size among large telephoto lenses, and compatible filters — including ND and polarizing filters — are widely available in this diameter.
How heavy is the FUJINON XF500mm F5.6?+
The lens weighs 1,360g (weight: 1360g). At this weight, most photographers will want to use a monopod or tripod for extended shooting sessions, particularly in wildlife or sports scenarios where the lens may be held for long periods.
Is this a zoom or prime lens?+
The XF500mm is a prime lens (zoomPrime: Prime) with a fixed 500mm focal length (minFocalLength/maxFocalLength: 500mm). There is no zoom capability — the focal length is fixed, so all framing adjustments must be made by physically repositioning the camera.
