Assuming it's as good as we all hope, that is.

"........Pentax seem to be busy undoing the "crop factor" on their new lenses.."
Well contrary to what a lot of people have been saying this was on the cards all along. That's probably why there is such a lack of decent wides for the 'APS-C' size sensor cameras.
Things will change faster now if it's true that Nikon is about to go full-frame /near full-frame with the DX3 curtesy of Sony for the sensor. If this is true expect most makers to follow suit apart from Olympus/Panny/leica.
However, I don't see why people are assuming these new lenses will be suitable for a 24X36mm sensor. Such lenses are normally designated D-FA.

As for the red cast, that sounds like a white balance problem. Not all flashes are created equal, and when using multiple lights there is always the danger of some being warmer (or colder) than others.

George,
One of the docs about the lenses mentioned that a firmware upgrade was required to the K10D to make use of the SDM.
+ The PENTAX K10D firmware must be updated to take advantage of this automatic switching function.
(Which presumably is Pentax press release)

mmm I was expecting that to be the one which sorted out the SDM control, but apparently not?
I do hope they manage to get that firmware out before the lenses, or faces really will be red.

Keep it up.

Is the light constant between exposure reading and taking the picture?
Is the subject one that might cause exposure problems? Water, snow, strong back-lighting etc.?
Have you done a side by side test with a prime lens of identical focal length and at the same aperture? When I compare my K 50mm 1.2 with my F 50mm 1.4 (handheld) I get exposure variations of between zero and half a stop. With the 400mm (I have nothing to compare it with) exposure is always within reasonable limits.
