has just posted a full review of the newly announced Fujinon XF 500mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR Lens at the ePhotozine.com. It is“Amazingly Light, Fast and Whisper Quiet Autofocus, Excellent Sharpness, Smooth Bokeh”!
This new super telephoto prime has such pros: Excellent sharpness, Extremely light for its length, Low CA, Lovely smooth bokeh, Weather resistant, Fast, accurate and whisper quiet AF, Close focusing, 5.5 stops OIS and Superb flare control.
conclusions below is made by John Riley:
It’s moderately compact, but amazingly light and easy to handle, reaching out to distant subjects with its 500mm (762mm-equivalent) pulling power. This brings all those small birds and mammals into range, although for some wildlife it may be a little too long for larger mammals and shorter ranges. This is the master of long range photography for Fuji X users, and the results are beautiful. Add one of the Teleconverters and the closest focusing point does not change, so the magnification increases and that long range power pulls even more into our repertoire. There is a price tag, but the results are great and there are few lenses with such a long focal length that can even approach the versatility and ease of use. Highly recommended.
