XF 500mm F5.6 R LM OIS WR overview
The Fujifilm XF 500mm F5.6 R LM OIS WR is a 500mm f/5.6 prime for APS-C cameras on Fujifilm X, announced by Fujifilm in October 2024. 27 cameras we track take it without an adapter.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits wildlife and sport. It is a weaker pick for low light without a tripod and travelling light.
No store we track in Europe lists it today. It is listed in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia. It launched at €3,399.
Worth comparing it with the Fujifilm XF 400mm F4.5 R LM OIS WR.
