Yesterday I took a Kodak TMax 400 with the Rolleiflex SL66 and
developed it too; the focal plane shutter is working perfectly, the
vertical bands in the previous color negative Portra roll were caused
in the lab; I had used other two Portra 400 from the same box in the
3,5F and 2,8C and they had no problems.
This time I used an Argentinian developer for the Tmax 400, Romek PQ7,
it is a Phenidone based developer, they call it Phenidek because
Phenidone is an Ilford trade mark. It's a concentrated liquid to be
diluted 1+3, you can develop up to 8 120 roll units with 1 litre of
diluted solution.
These two images were taken with the lens in the reversed position:

>> This is the first roll after the SL66 CLA. I wrote the camera was
