Matching 5d and T2i

I have a shoot coming up, we are using a 5dmii and 2 T2is. Any tips on matching exposure? Is there is specific amount of compensation you use to make up for the different light sensitivities? I have seen some people using ISO to compensate, but I think i would rather use the lens to match.

Thanks,

They look pretty close to me- Try to set up matching picture profiles the best you can and use the same lens set on both. The t2i is maybe a fraction of a stop darker at any given 5dm2 iso. Just compensate by slightly adjusting the aperture on the 5d.
Id be more worried about bringing the ultra shallow dof down to a normal level to match the t2i's by stopping down the 5d- so you may want to keep the 5d at a higher iso and shoot around an f4.
 
Thanks Hunter. I knew they would be fairly close, but if its just a minor tweak then I wont worry about it too much. I was planning on staying a little wider on the 5d and cover OTS's and such with the T2i's, hopefully this will somewhat normalize the DOF (as a 50mm will be the same DOF on both cameras just wider FOV on the 5d). But if I run into issues I will try bumping ISO on the 5d.

Thanks,
