Question about lenses

Hi,

Another question a friend asked me and I couldn´t answer perfectly.
Imagine you placed three cameras of the same brand and model side by side, loaded with the same film and with the same function adjustments. It are pointed to the same 18% gray panel and the spot light meter are set. One of the cameras have a 20mm f2.8, other a 35mm f2.8 and the last a 135mm f2.8.
If you set f5.6 in all lenses, will the light meters of the cameras indicate the same speed for all three cameras???
I asked him that it problably would indicate different speeds, in the limite of +/- 1 EV, because the lenses have different optical construction (different kinds, number and arrangement of optical elements), but I´m not sure about this.
Is my conclusion right???
