I’ve been shooting cosplay photography since 2009, and in this video, I put 5 prime lenses to the test at Anime Expo 2025—the biggest cosplay event in the U.S.
Each lens gives a different vibe—from ultra-wide chaos to telephoto cinematic perfection. I used a different cosplayer for each focal length to keep things fun and fresh, and YOU get to decide: which lens looks best?
