Are the Pentax D lenses that precise in their image circle coverage?
In passing (somewhere) I've read of a "claimed" 1.3 crop factor.
You seem certain. Do you remember where you read it?

We know they're not that precise - but I wouldn't bet that *all* of
them can cover the APS-H format ;)
The new Pentax must compete with the 30D and the D200, so it must be
priced mode or less at the same level. An APS-H sensor will be more
expensive than an APS-C one, besides the 10MP Sony is available; can
you show me an APS-H version?

Yes, in fact there's two different 10MP sensors available for 1.3x crop.
The first is used in the Leica Digital Module-R, and the second is a
different sensor used in the upcoming M Digital. Both are ~1.3x
(actually the M Digital is 1.39x crop, so really ~1.4x) 10MP sensors.
I'm not sure exactly who makes these sensors though.
