            Since Pentax 645D has a Medium format sensor and Nikon D850 has a smaller Full frame sensor, Nikon D850's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the Pentax 645D lenses. Both D850 and 645D have weather sealings in their body, making them resistant to water and dust.
