What's good and bad exposure?

good exposure: when the photo looks the way you want it.
bad exposure: when the photo doesn't look the way you want it.

I asked my photo lab if their equipment did any exposure fixing during development and scanning "erm no I don't think so it's just straight from the camera. We can do it but you'll have to pay" bla bla bla. Interesting.

These were scanned directly without printing (thanks Mablo and oftheherd for the info)

Here's a bracketing shot from my first roll with the Nikkor-HC. I think I prefer the first exposure. My built in incident lightmeter seems to be working ok...

what do you think?

All modern print/scan processors make corrections to density/exposures. The processor is designed to have the best result for the customer and so automatically makes adjustments. Modern processor actually print a scan of the negative rather than printing it optically--much easier to control output that way. That is also why you can get scan data at the same time as you have your film developed/printed. The best way to judge your exposures with print/negative film is to look at the film and not the prints.
