Hello fellows and gals. I will be touring Costa Rica next week and plan to take no more than 2 of my lenses along with my Nikon D7000. I have the standard kit 18-55, 35 mm, 18-200, 100mm, and 11-16. Plan to take the Tokina 11-16 and the nikkor 18-200. Any dissenting opinions? Aim is to have a little flexibility, yet be able to carry less and lighter.
I have been to CR several times and it seem those two lenses would cover most of what you need.
A lot depends on where you are going (rain forest of mountains? both?), the only thing I would consider adding is a macro lens (is this your 100?) as you will encounter spectacular opportunities for close-up photography. Also, you might consider a tele converter as most of the birds you will see will be pretty far away.
Anyway, have loads of fun. And post some pix
