I'm trying to get into ski photography and invest in somereallynicegearthat willlast mea while. I'm planning to buy a EOS R5, with RF70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM and a RF24-70mm F2.8L IS USM. Is this the right gear for action sport photography? Is there anything I'm missing or should be thinkin about as well? Thanks!

Greetings,
The R5 with those two lenses are a fantastic combination. They are two of my favorites. For skiing, however, you may want to consider the RF 100-500. It really depends on your proximity to the subject and the look you are trying to achieve.
