Cardinal Film Lab (www.cardinalfilmlab.com) has been good in my experience, very fast turnaround and reasonable prices.
Andrew's Analog Center (www.needfilmdeveloped.com) is even more economical but they take a little longer.
If you get into film more seriously I'd at least recommend setting up a home scanning rig. If you have an old DSLR or mirrorless camera and a macro lens you're most of the way there. Just need a copy stand and light source, or of course the all-in-one kits like the Valoi Easy35 are available to make it easier. It's a fun way to get more involved in the process!
Thanks for the recommendations. I do have a couple of mirrorless cameras and I will want to get setup to use them to digitize the film at some point for sure. I've been reading up on that process a bit to learn about how to do it and what lenses would be ideal for the cameras I have.
I do think.. just sending them off and waiting a few weeks to get surprise photos in the mail also sounds like it could be a bit exciting.

Thank you! I used camera movements, one of the big benefits of using large format cameras. On this one, I mostly used front tilt which changes the plane of focus more like a ramp than a vertical wall.
Ahh that's interesting and didn't even think of it when trying to figure it out in my head. Very clever.
