The First Super Telephoto Prime Lens in the Series

The 'Fujinon Lens GF500mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR' is a super telephoto prime lens offering an angle of view equivalent to a focal length of 396mm in 35mm format. It is the longest telephoto lens in the GFX system.

The optimal arrangement of ED and Super ED lenses suppresses chromatic aberration, which tends to occur with miniaturization, achieving high resolution performance while being compact and lightweight.

High-Speed AF and Image Stabilization Supporting Super Telephoto Shooting

The lens adopts an inner focus system with a linear motor, achieving silent and high-speed AF. Additionally, it features an image stabilization mechanism that provides up to 6.0 stops of correction effect. It has a dust-resistant, weather-resistant, and low-temperature resistant (-10°C) structure, with a fluorine coating on the front lens element for waterproof and antifouling performance.

Moreover, it is compatible with the 'Fujinon Teleconverter GF1.4X TC WR', allowing for shooting up to 700mm (equivalent to 554mm in 35mm format) when combined. Furthermore, using the '35mm Format Mode' on GFX cameras, it provides an angle of view equivalent to 693mm in 35mm format without using a teleconverter.
