The optical design comprises five extra-low dispersion elements and two super extra-low dispersion elements, which help to reduce distortions and color aberrations typically found in lenses of this length. The 21-element, 14-group optical design delivers the sharpness and clarity necessary when shooting with 40.2MP X-series sensors, while the rounded, 9-blade diaphragm delivers a smooth and rounded bokeh that's further augmented by the spatial compression inherent in super telephoto focal lengths.
Fujifilm's longest prime lens yet—the XF 500mm f/5.6 R LM OIS WR brings distant wildlife, sports, and birds into sharp focus with subject-separating bokeh. At 762mm full-frame equivalent, it delivers edge-to-edge sharpness for 40.2MP X-series sensors without the bulk. Under 3 lb and 10.1" long, the lightweight design pairs 5.5 stops of optical image stabilization for steady handheld shooting. The optical formula—five extra-low dispersion and two super extra-low dispersion elements across 21 elements in 14 groups—cuts distortion and chromatic aberration. A 9-blade rounded diaphragm produces creamy bokeh, while the Arca-type tripod collar foot locks into standard supports when you need rock-solid stability.
