Cant you read?, I said COMPARED to 105mm/telephoto lenses. I can focus just about any lens I own on any camera I own in any light, but its much harder and much slower to get it right as the lenses get wider and/or slower. Using a 105mm lens as an example when the topic was specifically about a 35mm lens was wrong. No camera is ever going to make the 35mm lens just as easy to focus as the 105mm lens at the same f-stop/speed. jco

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.
