Of course you have to qualify each film and I certainly have not done that although I am trying . . . ;-)
Knowing I can overexpose by a lot, I came upon this scene that metered at 1/60 & f16 but I wanted to shoot at 1/4 or 1/2 so I knew Kodak Ektar 100 can handle it and it did without using ND filters.
Or when you have a scene with excessive contrast, you have a lot of latitude to "equalize" the scene.

To match up exposures perfectly, it would be preferable to use an evenly lit gray card to fill most of the scene. Using the same lens should keep everything matched up as close as possible.
I conducted a few film tests for latitude with the following films. Determined optimum exposure shutter/aperture via gray card then vary the shutter speed so many stops under and over this reference point. Scan auto exposure on with no color, levels or post process shadows/highlights adjustments.
