Just to be doubly sure about my experiences, I attached a 35/3.5 to the DSLR and easily focused @ f8.0 in a dark hallway where the contrast was not very great. YMMV.
Of course, it may be that I've used these lenses on older bodies for a much longer time than you have, and may just be better at adjusting to their limitations, which are not very limiting on the newer bodies.
