Exposure question

I have just begun experimenting with trying to maintain the same (relatively) exposure under the same filming conditions with different lenses.

For what it's worth, I am using a 24mm f2.8 (36dx), a 50mm f1.8 (75dx) and a 100mm f2.8(150dx).

Perhaps there is already a thread concerning exposure and lens changes, and if so, please advise. But if not, I'm sure some of you have undertaken similar trials, and I will also post whatever I can come up with.

Even with not knowing exactly what LV is doing, it should be possible to construct a rough chart that gives us an indication of what lens needs what settings in order to assist with a consistent image across lenses.
 
the f-stop on modern lenses, especially fixed focal lengths, is very close to the t-stop, so just set it to the same in all and you will get identical exposure. as for the auto exposure in live view you can simply use a grey card. good luck.
