Do you think weathersealing really makes a big difference in terms of lenses ? Of course the glass will be protected by a filter.

TAKE A WEATHER SEALED LENS! It's said Costa Rica has two seasons, the wet season and the wetter season. Not only you're getting a weather sealed combo but also a 2.8 zoom which is crucial shooting in the rain forest.

Agree!

You can get lucky, I only got caught in the rain a couple of times, but weather sealed equipment is very very useful!

Agreed! There were enough times where it was absolutely pouring that it was nice to have a lens where you didnt have to worry too much. At one point I took my Nikon with 24-85mm which i don't believe is weathersealed and it is amazing how paranoid you get about how much water is hitting the lens! The other benefit is that with the rain, comes limited light so the 2.8 definitely helps!
