It is an old Epson Stylus SX200, it was being thrown out by a neighbour, so I took it.
I'm fairly certain that's not a negative scanner.

Just looking at scanners now. It says film scanners digitize now, what is the point in turning a film photo into a digital one?
Well, you could set up a darkroom, do multiple copies of traditional wet prints and post them out to us so we can see them.
If you want to share them on the internet then they have to be digitised. I suppose you could take a digital photo of the wet prints.
Photo labs mostly only scan. The prints you have will have been scanned.
I would stick to black and white personally... that is a lot more forgiving of exposure errors than colour.I have kept my notes with the developed film, for future reference. I might, only might, try a roll of colour film. I will of course have to buy some first.

What I would suggest is to get your digital camera out, and, in pretty much the same conditions as with your film photos to go out and replicate the film setting on your digital camera, so you get an idea of ISO(so, if your film is 400ISO, then set your camera to that), aperture and shutter speed. Just to give you an idea of how it all works in different light.
So...you used exactly the same ISO, the same 'f' number and the same shutter speed for both cameras and got completely different results?. I take it you're using aperture priority on your digital and it's choosing the shutter speed for you?.I already have used the digital camera with the same lenses that I used on the film camera, at the same ISO. The digital gives a nice exposure even at a higher ISO. The only thing I can think, the film camera might have a fault, and is over exposing. I could try more film, and under expose and see what results I get.

First thing I would do is to check for any custom setting that the F60 might have, such as being set to overexpose, but I'm guessing that won't be the case. I've no idea why you would shoot with the lens wide open as the photos you've posted don't really suit a very narrow depth of field. It's hard to tell from the ones posted, but how about taking a digital photo of some of the negatives against a white light? This might give us an idea of how pale or dark they are, then we could maybe be able to give some more advice?Yes used aperture priority , same setting on both cameras. The film camera is over exposing. I will need to try more film I think, and probably under expose next time, just to see what results the camera gives.

I know most of you said not to bother taking notes, writing settings down etc, when shooting film. But I did take notes, and I can see, most of the over exposed photos, where when I used the 50mm 1.8D lens wide open. I may try another roll at some point, probably some street shots at f/8 and see if that gives any better results.
