It's been noted that Pentax cameras really saturate the red channel,
I've never heard of it being associated with any particular lens
before. Though a general warming effect, which Pentax lenses are prone
to would exacerbate the issue. Personally I like the Kodachrome look,
(a film that had very saturated reds as most will know), so it's not
that big an issue for me.

I've been using Pentax 31/1.8 Ltd lens for the past few months, and I
noticed that it tends to produce lots of red. I mean that the red
channel frequently appears to be somewhat over-saturated.
In many of those cases I can fix that in LR by dialing down the saturation
of the red channel under HSL menu in the "Develop" module (LR 3.6)
to about -10 -- -20.
This is especially noticeable in extremely red lips and/or red faces
overall.
Does anybody else observe this trend?
I wonder if it might be
1. the specifics of my scenes (relatively low-light, mostly fluorescent
lights)
2. the specifics of my lens.
3. specifics of the LR 3.x process [that is taken care of in 5.x]
(I don't see this with other lenses)
4. something else...
