I use the old, unsealed 14-150 in the rain because it has a fairly deep hood and I don't care much about that lens anyway. I often tuck the camera under my arm with the lens pointing down.

I've had two cameras fail due to water damage, a Nikon F100 and Oly E-PM2. The latter drowned in my own sweat-soaked shirt on a nice day. Weather sealing works, and it's useful even without sealed lenses or under sunny skies.
