T-Stops

While doing research I stumbled onto this term, and it seems to be more of a video issue than camera.

F-Stop = Focal length Stop (Theoretical value)
T-Stop =Tested stop (tested value}

In what I was reading the difference the two is small and not worth testing for still cameras, but it is for video cameras. Since I assume, perhaps wrongly, that you use your still camera body option to shoot videos, are you using this "T-Stop"?

I believe cine lenses have t-stops rather than f-stops. In a professional shoot it could matter because you want to be able to achieve the same exposure with different lenses. If you are just using one lens, it shouldn't matter.

Wow! Haven’t seen a T-stop lens since I was in the Air Force! We had them for our mopic cameras and that was WAY BACK in the late 60’s!
