If you're not using a through the lens meter, you have to calibrate your lenses for exposure. I frequently used a handheld incident meter when shooting transparency film with my 6x7. But I had an exposure compensation factor for each lens. For example, I think my 300/4 required 1/2 a stop of extra exposure, while my 105/2.4 was right on.
