Canon Minolta Pentax

anybody using adaptors for 35 mm cam lenses on digital SLR`s?
I know all the down side like no auto focus and stop down metering etc. I have Minolta MD lenses (4)28, 50 Micro, 100 and 200. I see that adaptors are available for sony, nikon, pentax, canon etc. they say infinity focus ok and the forementioned metering and focus problems. But I used manual film cameras for years and a hand light meter, so speed is not my priority. Still like to shoot film but it gets costly and i don`t have as much time to process. If i`m going in the darkroom it`s to make money. so feedback on the question from actual users is very welcome.
I bought my Pentax K-200 dSLR just for that purpose. I have a box full of Pentax screw mount lenses and all I do is place an adapter to the camera and use a 50mm Industar, an 80mm Jupiter, that long pre-set 400mm Tele-Astranar or anything else I may fancy.
Yes, focusing is manual but my camera has focus confirmation, a wonder for my aged eyes Metering is no problem as I get to use the K200 exactly the same way I use my Pentax film SLRs, in aperture-priority mode. Best of all, Shake Reduction works for each and every old lens I attach to the camera.
