Some very nice shots in this thread. Could I get some suggestions on where to get 120 film processed in the US? c41 and BW would be great. scanning isn't crucial-I can handle that. My pro lab stopped offering it about 4 years ago. Just PM me please. I've got a decent amount of rolls in the freezer that I would like to shoot in my Bronica. Thanks for your help.

For black and white, DO IT YOURSELF!!! It is beyond easy and an absolute blast of fun. Seriously, you reduce your costs to just about nothing when you develop your own film. I've done about 20 rolls now and just love it. I shoot more film now because of how fun developing is. D-76 developer is $7 a gallon and can develop dozens of rolls.
For color, Dwyane's is a place that many people are happy with.
I shoot mostly 4x5 & for BW I have switched to doing it at home.
The last time I was in a darkroom was 45 yrs ago.
But for just doing negatives, you don't need a dark room.
Just a dark bag & the right tank system & of course the chemicals.
It's always a thrill seeing the freshly dev negs!
For color, I discovered http://www.theslideprinter.com/services/e6-slide-developing/
You contact them & they send a mailer.
Its only $2.50 per 4x5 transparency,which is half of what the local labs charge.
The turnaround is about 7-10 days and I've been very happy with the results.
When you get your film back, you get another mailer.
There is a min charge & they do have $5.00 S/H. But for 7+ exposures, clearly a deal.
How do you develop your Tri-x? I'm lazy and just having been using rodinal for almost everything (works okay for 120 but 35mm gets a bit too grainy) but I like how clean your Tri-x shots look.

All the shots you see here were developed in good ol' D-76, mostly at 1:1 but some were done in stock solution.
This weekend I just started developing in DD-X. We'll see how that goes soon.

Nice work with the best from Fuji!
I just have Acros in 120, time to use the roll film back!
