which pentax?

What's the highest resolution pentax digital slr, short of spending $9000 for the new medium format? I have a suitcase of old pentax 6X7 gear that I assume isn't usable with digital.

Highest resolution - would be the K-7 and the K20D that preceded it, at 14MP. I'm moving this the the DSLR forum, BTW - the "welcomes" forum isn't really the place for technical questions - but welcome!

Pentax 67 lenses can be used on either 645 or K bodies via adaptors. Any Pentax K mount DSLRs will work too but might be awkward with such large lenses in front.
