There was no bright sky that day, when all "dark" photos were made.Only clouds and no high contrast.I suspect it's your exposures, it looks like bright skies and then the buildings where dark are in the shadows. You need to tell us how you are metering.Ian

I must say, I'm "TTL metering addicted" not very good with external meters. I'm back to medium format after many years with color films and 24x36 SLR. I have simple Sekonic and usually take readings from grass, tree trunk, wall... not in bright light, not in deep shadow. Average. Made some films recently with Flex and P.six and I'm OK with results. This Ikonta was first serious failure.

+1It's simple. If the negative shows enough shadow detail, the contact prints are too dark. If the negative shows thin shadows, than the camera exposure was wrong. And I agree that a slow, contrasty film with a tendency to burn highlights is not the best choice with an old folder, especially when you are not in control of development.
