Hello Elmokki

The 2.8 pro zooms give the 'photographer' the option to shoot in limited light and that's about it. In my opinion, their main benefit is their weather sealing and normally I shoot around F4.

I believe it's better to have a weather sealing body and lens so when it does rain on the trips, the camera is safe and more importantly you can use it. For example on a trip it was pouring with rain and I was the only one using my camera because it was weather sealed.
