Equipped with a focal length of 500mm (equivalent to 396mm in 35mm format), making it the longest in the history of GF lenses and excelling in sports, wildlife, and bird photography.

By combining it with the Fujinon Teleconverter GF1.4X TC WR that expands the lens' focal length, it achieves a maximum focal length equivalent to 700mm (equivalent to 554mm in 35mm format).

Through a redesign of the components and achieving lightweight parts design to the extreme, it has achieved a mass of approximately 1,375g, which overturns the conventional wisdom of large-format telephoto lenses. In addition to the lightweight design of each lens, the optimal arrangement of ED lenses and Super ED lenses minimizes chromatic aberration that is likely to occur with miniaturization, enabling both compact and lightweight construction and high resolution performance.

Despite being a telephoto lens that tends to have a larger front element, it achieves a comfortable grip without feeling the weight of the front by optimizing the lens placement. Enjoy comfortable and less burdensome super telephoto photography.

While maintaining high resolution performance, it adopts an inner focus system that incorporates a smaller and lighter focus lens and drives the focus group using a linear motor. This enables a fast and silent autofocus (AF) with a minimum delay of approximately 0.31 seconds. Even in super telephoto shooting where precise focusing is required, it allows you to quickly and accurately capture your subject without missing any decisive moments.

The Focus Preset function is featured so that the focus can be shifted to a location pre-defined with the Focus Preset button※7. This reduces users’ operation workload as they don’t need to re-adjust focus on a targeted subject.

The lens also features the Focus Limiter*8, allowing users to restrict the lens’s AF range. This can effectively shorten AF time when photographing a subject that is five meters away or more.

The Focus Control button*7 is placed at the front edge of the lens barrel. Press this button to instantly recall a function you have assigned with the Focus Selector*7 for smooth AF operation.
