Yellow color cast: Summicron-M 35mm 8-element (1st. version)

I have noticed a distinct yellow tone using my Summicron 8-element on the M9.

This is compared to my other lenses (35 lux pre-asph, 35 lux asph and summicron 50).

It is not too noticable on many subjects, but people skin will tend to look a little ill or something - it reminds me somehow of the disconcerting colors I got from cheap Sigma lenses on DSLRs a few years back :(

 

Is this normal behaviour for this lens ? I tried to look thru the lens to determine if anything went brown/yellow in there (radioactive glass perhaps?) - but it doesnt seem like it and looking on a white paper thru the lens, it looks well ... white :rolleyes:

Should I try to treat it to sunlight for a few days anyway ?
