In any case, check the negatives (look for crazy cyans) and try using -1/3 to -2/3 EV compensation (i.e. rate the film as ISO125 or ISO160) to get the reds under control.
Good point regarding the ISO. My first roll that had weird colors was exposed at ISO 60. This last roll at ISO 100. I suppose I could waste a few frames and do some test shots at various ISO settings on my next roll.
