Built to endure any environment, every Red Badge lens features rugged weather-sealing, ensuring world-class image quality and reliability in even the most demanding shooting conditions.


Solid Stabilization

Alongside a compact, lightweight design, powerful image stabilization makes a super-telephoto lens easy to use. FUJINON XF500mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR lens offers assured handholding thanks to an optical image stabilization (OIS) system providing up to 5.5 stops of correction. Advanced OIS technology processes signals in real time for extreme precision, while the lens group responsible for vertical image stabilization has been optimized and miniaturized. The result? Complete confidence to work handheld in nearly any situation, including indoor and low-light scenarios.

Razor-Sharp Responses

Super-telephoto power is nothing without autofocusing speed. The whisper-quiet linear motor in FUJINON XF500mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR lens achieves accurate focus in just 0.33 seconds *1, so you’ll never miss a moment. This performance is made possible by the precise arrangement of lens elements, which minimize chromatic and spherical aberrations, while still allowing the focusing lens group to move with speed and precision.

Light on Weight, Heavy on Performance

Maneuvering heavy equipment for prolonged periods to be ready for a moment that may only last for a split second is tough, which is why the light weight and compact size of FUJINON XF500mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR lens matters. We’ve achieved this by making each lens element as small and thin as possible, yet optimizing image quality through careful positioning of aspherical and ED elements. As a result, the lens weighs just 1335g (2.94lbs), yet still delivers critical sharpness.

Optically Outstanding

Today’s creatives demand outstanding quality from a super-telephoto lens – simply bringing distant details close is not enough. FUJINON XF500mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR lens features 21 lens elements in 14 groups and uses Super ED and ED glass for uncompromising contrast, detail and sharpness. Combined with the familiar perspective compression of a super-telephoto optic, it will redefine how you see the world.
