Click to enlarge. Fujifilm has its largest super telephoto zoom lens to date, the 150–600mm F5. 6–8 R LM OIS WR. This lens, according to Fujifilm, has been ‘engineered for photographers who rely on extreme zoom capabilities, even in the most challenging photographic situations.
’
The lens, which offers a full-frame equivalent focal length range of 229–914mm, uses an optical design comprised of 24 elements in 17 groups, including three extra-low dispersion (ED) elements and four Super ED elements. If the 914mm equiv. focal length isn’t enough, this lens can be paired with Fujifilm’s XF 1. 4X TC WR or XF 2X TC WR teleconverters to top out at 1350mm equiv. and 1828mm equiv. , respectively.
The comparatively slow aperture at the long end would be reduced to F11 by the 1. 4x teleconverter and F16 by the 2x version, and is already equivalent to a 229-914mm F8. 4-12 lens on full-frame.

Autofocus is driven via Fujifilm’s linear motor technology. In addition to a Focus Limiter function, which can minimize focus acquisition time by limiting the focus range to 4. 8m (16ft) or more, the lens also features a Focus Preset function that will recall a pre-defined focusing distance assigned by the SET button. Optical image stabilization is CIPA-rated for five stops of exposure compensation across the entire focal range.
The internal frame of the lens is constructed using a magnesium allow and the body of the lens is matte silver minimize the likelihood of extreme heat affecting the image quality of the lens. It
The XF 150–600mm F5. 6–8 R LM OIS WR is expected to be available in early July 2022 for $1,999 / $2,550 CAD.

Fujifilm Introduces FUJINON XF150-600mmF5. 6-8 R LM OIS WR Lens
Super-telephoto zoom lens offers premium image quality, lightweight design and outstanding speed
Valhalla, N. Y. , May 31, 2022 – FUJIFILM North America Corporation is pleased to introduce FUJINON XF150-600mmF5. 6-8 R LM OIS WR telephoto zoom lens (XF150- 600mmF5. 6-8 R LM OIS WR). Engineered for photographers who rely on extreme zoom capabilities, even in the most challenging photographic situations. From distant wildlife to sprawling landscape photography, XF150-600mmF5. 6-8 R LM OIS WR is designed to create long-distance images with pinpoint accuracy.
“The outstanding coverage that is achievable with this lens places a range of far- reaching subjects–including wildlife, nature, and landscape details–firmly within frame,” said Victor Ha, vice president, Electronic Imaging and Optical Devices Divisions, FUJIFILM North America Corporation. “An incredible focal range paired with fast, reliable autofocus, and a perfectly balanced, lightweight design removes barriers between photographers and their subjects, so their only limitation is their own creativity. ”
The lens consists of 24 lens elements in 17 groups including three extra-low dispersion (ED) elements and four Super ED elements, to deliver an advanced level of image resolution edge to edge across the entire zoom range.
Covering 35mm equivalent focal lengths of 229mm – 914mm, image makers can extend the reach of XF150-600mmF5. 6-8 R LM OIS WR through either FUJIFILM XF1. 4X TC WR or FUJIFILM XF2X TC WR teleconverters. The lens’s longest focal length extends to 1200mm (35mm equivalent of 1828mm), closing distances in an instant.
The fast autofocus system, driven by a linear motor, attains precise focus quickly and accurately, even in the super-telephoto range, where focusing can be difficult due to a shallow depth of field.
Main XF150-600mmF5. 6-8 R LM OIS WR Product Features:
Fujifilm’s longest super-telephoto range delivers premium image quality
HT-EBC coating, typically used on broadcast lenses, has been applied on all elements of XF150-600mmF5. 6-8 R LM OIS WR, to achieve high transmittance and low reflectance despite containing 24 lens elements.
Compatible with FUJIFILM XF2X TC WR and XF1. 4X TC WR.
XF2X TC WR - 300mm to 1200mm
(35mm equivalent focal lengths of 457mm – 1828mm
XF1. 4 TC WR - 210mm to 900mm
(35mm equivalent focal lengths of 315mm - 1350mm
Rugged yet lightweight design to reduce user load, enabling extended shooting in a variety of situations
1 despite being a super-telephoto zoom reaching up to 600mm. Two super ED elements are used to keep the lens barrel small, while maintaining an advanced level of image-resolving performance. The use of an Inner Zoom system means the lens barrel maintains a constant length at every focal length. This results in a lightweight lens that zooms easily with no shift in weight distribution.
