What it does, and why that matters

Reach — 01

The longest lens in the GF lineup

500mm (396mm equivalent) brings distant wildlife and sports subjects within range on the large sensor, and pairing it with the GF1.4X TC WR extends it to a 700mm (554mm equivalent) reach.

Focal length 500mm (396mm equivalent in 35mm format)
21 elements in 14 groups, including 2 Super ED and 5 ED elements
Compatible with the GF1.4X TC WR for 700mm (554mm equivalent)

Stabilization — 02

6-stop optical image stabilization

Built-in OIS rated to roughly 6 stops of compensation makes a 500mm lens realistic to hand-hold, while the internal-focusing LM motor keeps pace with moving subjects and remembers a preset focus point.

Linear motor (LM) autofocus with internal focusing
Optical Image Stabilization rated to approximately 6 stops
Focus Preset button for recalling a saved focus position
