If you use File-Export and then export a file using the ProRes codec in Quicktime, your levels will be completely off, and not adhere to any standard, in my experience. I found that I always ended up with a gamma shift.

In MC6-Mac, you can transcode your file to ProRes, then do a Same-As-Source export, and then the levels are fine.

Alternatively, I think you can export as Op1A MXF (through virtual XDCAM disk if you're on pre-v6), then use Sony Clip Browser to convert the MXF to MOV. That seemed to work for me last year when I needed to bring something to FCP, thanks Bouke for the tip).
