Hello!

 A bit late but I'll try to answer.

 You're absolutely right that cropfactor will affect how coordinates
will be normalized to the [0-1] range. This is not my choice, I had to
follow this convention if I want to be compatible with PTLens and
Hugin lens models.

 Also, this scheme allows to define just one mathematical model for a
lens, and use it on different cameras with different crop factors. For
example, you may compute the coefficients for some lens using a 1.0
crop-factor camera, and then you may use same model for shots made
with 1.5 crop-factor cameras. The reverse is obviously not the right
thing to do (e.g. creating a model on a 1.5 crop-factor camera and
then correcting 1.0 crop-factor shots will... ahem, well, most likely
not work).

 Now when you model your lens, you must use shots made with the native
crop-factor, which covers the whole sensor (I suppose this is 4:3).
Then for smaller crops you must compute the ratio of the smallest of
the two dimensions and divide the sensor crop factor by it. Then
coordinate normalization will work okay, provided that the cropped
image is centered on the sensor.

 Then you must create several camera definitions, like "Camera A (4:3
mode)", "Camera A (16:9 mode)" and so on, with the same EXIF
identifier. The application is expected to automatically select any of
these camera definitions, but allow you to select at least amongst
cameras with identic EXIF IDs (or, even better, be able to give you
flexible choice between all cameras in the database). If this is not
the case, I suggest you to contact rawstudio authors.

 You may try how UFRaw reacts to this situation.
