Does the D60 standard matrix metering routinely overexpose?  Most matrix
metering seems to be pretty accurate.

I usually shoot slides, so I don't normally override the matrix
metering--in scenes with lots of contrast, something is usually
sacrificed no matter what you do.  With black and white film, there's a
lot more headroom, and then you can adjust exposure, but you don't
usually have to.  Portra 400BW is very tolerant in this respect for a
chromogenic film, and of course the conventional B&W films leave plenty
of margin.
