Anyone seen this before? The aperture number f/8 is red on this Distagon 25/2.8 AEG: Click here to see on Ebay
I wonder why...

Some wide angle Takumar have a red f/8, with a red number on distance scale. They are intended to be a snapshot indication, to use the hyperfocal distance

You think so? Seems like a very neat paint job then. Maybe it's just specular reflections off the red paint. |

Looks like red paint to me too. Doesn't seem to be quite the same shade of red as the IR focus datum line. Neither can I see why it should be a hyperfocal distance indicator, since there's no matching mark on the depth of field scale. I'd still go with the home paint job hypothesis.

Handpainted, very poorly. Looks like he/she used a highlighter to do it.
