Details on the subject
the aperture should not be an issue, because the lenses will have the same focal length on either a dSLR, or a 35mm SLR ( the difference is the film plane size, and on a dSLR more is cropped due to the sensor size ( film plane size ), my camera for instance has a 1.6x crop factor ). but depending on the cameras sensor quality , and the lense quality, you may get some weird edges using wide open aperture, or wider angle lenses. i think this effect might be more prominant on a digital vs 35mm camera.
where the aperture is a factor is on longer focal length lenses, the longer the zoom used the less DOF you will get. also in order to get larger aperture or small Fstop on a longer lense the lenses need to be wider to allow the aperture to open wide enough. so using the example above f2 on a 300mm lense would be 100mm opening ( thats a huge opening as most lenses use 55, 58, 62mm filters... ) so lenses in longer focal lengths that offer wide apertures are very expensive..
