The new Fujifilm XF 500mm f/5.6 makes X-mount a pro sports and wildlife contender

XF 500mm f/5.6 R LM OIS WR lens attached to a camera and held in front of a person outside on a rocky cliffside with mountains in the background.

Fujifilm’s XF mount has no shortage of lenses, with pretty much all bases covered – until you want to go long, with relatively slim pickings at longer focal lengths. The current prime lens lineup tops out at 200mm, though there are two zooms that reach further (the XF 150-600mm and XF 100-400mm) – but when you take into account both new and legacy glass, other mounts just have it better.

However, today is the day that begins to shift, as the company has just unveiled the Fujifilm XF 500mm f/5.6 R LM OIS WR, which offers a bright aperture at a substantial focal distance.
