## Caption

Today's question from Gary S. is, "I photograph in low light situations like conferences, lectures, and events. I have an R5 Mark II with f/2.8 versions of the RF zooms 15-35, 24-70, and 70-200. I've considered getting faster prime lenses like the 35 f/1.4 and f/1.8, but would I be better off upgrading to the EOS R1 instead of getting new lenses?"
