The SR system in the K10D appears to have a 3mm clearance between each
edge of the sensor and the supporting frame. So I would expect at that
the SR compensation capability  is configured for at least +/-2.5mm,
what would be the purpose of leaving that much clearance otherwise?.
Granted that sounds excessive but given some of the long lens SR tests
I've seen posted doesn't appear to be unrealistic.
