Thank you all for your time and advice. I am confused as I have read in many places that it is normal to play around with the ISO numbers, in order to under or over expose. If I were to keep ISO 400 at 400, wouldn’t my photos then be a lot lighter? (I’m trying to achieve the underexposed vintage look). I also don’t understand how with the same settings and same print shop the results are completely different. Do we all agree then that my ISO should be at the correct number and only my exposure at a negative number?

Hello, I am a beginner to photography and have a Minolta x-700. My first roll of film I shot was fantastic (the top 2 images) and I was very pleased with it - it was ISO 400 but I set it to 800 to underexpose, and I also set exposure at -1. (I shoot on P mode so the rest it done automatically for me). I was very pleased with these results. The next roll of film I shot (the bottom 2 images) I used all the same methods, but they came out looking overexposed and faded. Will this be the different films I was using? Or something I did? I would be so so so grateful for any help
