FujiFilm GF 500mm f/5.6 Lens - G Series Lens

The Fujifilm GF 500 mm f/5.6 R LM OIS WR Lens is a groundbreaking super-telephoto built for the GFX medium-format system. Reviewers praise it as the lens that finally makes long-distance photography practical for GFX shooters — offering stunning reach, advanced stabilisation, and uncompromising image quality in a form that’s surprisingly easy to carry.

Delivering an effective focal length of ≈ 396 mm (35 mm equivalent), it brings distant subjects closer with remarkable clarity. The f/5.6 maximum aperture balances brightness with manageable size, giving you control over depth of field and background separation even at extreme distances.

Inside, the optical design includes 21 elements in 14 groups, incorporating two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) and two Super ED elements to reduce chromatic aberration and maintain sharpness across the entire frame. The result is crisp, high-contrast imagery with minimal colour fringing — exactly what professionals demand from Fujifilm’s premium G Series optics.

Autofocus is handled by a fast and virtually silent Linear Motor (LM) drive, ensuring precision and responsiveness when tracking fast-moving wildlife or athletes. The Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) system delivers up to 6 stops of correction, letting you shoot handheld or in low light without compromise.

Physically, this lens continues Fujifilm’s tradition of smart, ergonomic design. At just ≈ 1.37 kg, it’s one of the lightest lenses in its class — remarkably portable for a medium-format telephoto. The magnesium-alloy body ensures rigidity without bulk, while the weather-resistant sealing protects against dust, rain, and cold temperatures down to –10 °C.

The aperture ring offers precise tactile control with an auto-lock position, while customisable focus function buttons and a Focus Limiter switch add speed and flexibility during fast-paced shoots.

Designed for professionals working in nature, sports, or editorial environments, the GF 500 mm delivers GFX-level detail with handheld practicality. Whether you’re photographing eagles on the coast or distant peaks at sunrise, it provides unmatched reach, realism, and reliability.
