The XF150-600mmF5.6-8 R LM OIS WR covers focal lengths ranging from the telephoto 150mm to the super-telephoto 600mm (equivalent to 229mm – 914mm in the 35mm film format). The lens boasts a lightweight design, plus fast and highly accurate AF, offering perfect operability with the NEW X-H2S and its advanced subject tracking features even at the super-telephoto end.

Super-telephoto range is prone to image degradation with axial chromatic aberration, however, the XF150-600mm F5.6-8 R LM OIS WR benefits from its construction, consisting of 24 lens elements in 17 groups including three ED elements and four Super ED elements, to deliver an advanced level of image resolution and edge to edge clarity across the entire zoom range.

Fujifilms's longest super-telephoto zoom lens

The new lens covers Fujifilm's longest focal length range, from the telephoto 150mm to the super-telephoto 600mm (equivalent to 229mm-914mm in the 35mm film format), making it a perfect choice for wildlife, birds, and sports photography.

The lens, consisting of 24 lens elements in 17 groups including three ED elements and four Super ED elements, thoroughly suppresses axial chromatic aberration, typically seen in super-telephoto lenses. It delivers a high level of edge-to-edge image-resolving performance across the entire zoom range.

Lightweight Design

It weighs just 1605g despite being a super-telephoto zoom reaching up to 600mm (equivalent to 914mm in the 35mm film format). Two Super ED elements are used as the frontmost elements to keep the lens barrel small while maintaining an advanced level of image resolving performance. The use of the Inner Zoom system means the lens barrel has a plain, non-extending structure. The result is a lightweight lens that zooms easily with no shift in weight distribution.

5-Stop Image Stabilisation Mechanism

At the super-telephoto 600mm focal length (equivalent to 914mm in the 35mm film format), the longest in Fujifilm's lineup, the degree of camera shake becomes too great to be controlled with in-body image stabilisation and therefore it becomes necessary to apply a fine optical axis adjustment in the lens before an image is formed on the sensor. The XF150-600mm F5.6-8 R LM OIS WR features a high-precision sensing and control system to deliver a 5-stop optical image stabilisation mechanism, one of the strongest for super-telephoto zooms, making it easier than ever to shoot at the super-telephoto range, most susceptible to camera shake. Users can take full advantage of the mobility of the compact X Mount when shooting super-telephoto photography hand-held.

Multiple functions for fast, silent and easy AF operation

The lens uses the Inner Focus system, which drives the compact and lightweight focus lens group with a linear motor to achieve a fast and silent AF. The focus is attained quickly and precisely in 0.25 seconds even in the hard-to-focus super-telephoto range, ensuring the ability to capture a decisive photo opportunity.

Our expert's opinion

The XF150-600mm F5.6-8 R LM OIS WR has been designed with a focus on being lightweight. The result is a non-extending Inner Zoom lens that weighs just 1605g and has a minimal shift in weight distribution for a stable grip and better balance. Users are assured of easy use even during extended photographic expeditions for wildlife or sports photography. The fast AF system, driven by a linear motor, attains a perfect focus quickly and accurately even in the super-telephoto range and even when fitted with a teleconverter, where focusing is difficult due to a shallow depth of field, thereby assuring the ability to capture a decisive moment.
