Looking for an online to process Kodak Tri-X 400
Hi. I'm a M9 owner, and just picked up a M6. Loaded a roll of Kodak Tri-X 400 and having trouble finding a nearby lab to process the film.
My friend gets all of his 35mm stuff done at Mpix.com. he mails them the film and they send back the negatives, prints and a CD. But they don't process Tri-X.
Is there anything like mpix but can handle tri-x film?
I tried looking up on google but didn't find anything that looked particularly great. Not really interested in developing myself.
Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

Two excellent solutions:
Precision Camera, a sponsor here. They farm out the Tri-X processing, then do excellent scans. Takes a week to ten days.
North Coast Photographic Services, San Diego. Process B&W in house (last time I looked) and the same excellent scans.
By excellent scans, I mean quite high resolution jpeg's. Night and day different from your usual mini-lab scans.
Both are reasonably priced. I highly recommend either of these.

Thanks. You are the second person to tell me about North Coast. I'll give it a try.

I love the tri-x look. Maybe it's in my head but that's how I feel

North coast is great.
Better yet, learn how to develop it yourself. Easy. Cheap. Rewarding.

Around me, now that almost nobody has a minilab any more (and "1 hour processing" signage is simply a reminder of a lost world) I find it much more convenient to develop my own film. I've mostly given up on film for colour (without too many pangs of regret).
Developing my own B&W is simple (really, try it), convenient and gives much faster turn-around than mail-order (which is pretty much what I'm reduced for C-41, let alone E-6, processing). Scanning is a bit of a pain, but I have a workable system for that. (Every once in a while I think about wet printing - but the thought of the logistics, and how much I'd have to learn to be any good at it, has so far convinced me not to.)
