Lens OverviewFujifilm 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 FeaturesFujifilm 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.

The lens offers both autofocus and manual focus operation, giving photographers full flexibility depending on the subject and shooting conditions.

An 82mm filter thread accommodates a wide range of photographic filters. At 1,360g, the lens is a serious piece of telephoto glass suited for dedicated wildlife, nature, and sports photographers who are committed to the Fujifilm X-mount ecosystem and need a purpose-built super telephoto prime.

ProsFujifilm 500mm f/5.6 R LM OIS WR

  • Optical image stabilization (imageStabilization: Optical) helps control camera shake at extreme focal lengths
  • Supports both autofocus and manual focus (focusType: Auto, Manual) for flexible shooting control

ConsFujifilm 500mm f/5.6 R LM OIS WR

  • Weighing 1,360g (weight: 1360g), this is a heavy lens that demands sturdy support for extended use
  • The f/5.6 maximum aperture (maximumAperture: 5.6) is relatively modest for a super telephoto prime and may challenge autofocus in low light
  • Exclusive Fujifilm X mount (mount.lens: Fujifilm X) compatibility limits this lens to one camera ecosystem with no adaptation path to other 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.
