Yeah, Canon DSLRs are not designed for stop down metering. If you don't get second chances for your shots, adapted manual lenses are not a good idea for Canon bodies. The best you can do is, like I said, predict the necessary amount of EC needed to get correct exposure. It's related to the aperture you choose.
I take a "base" exposure of the scene at the aperture I expect to use to determine where actual "0" is and then adjust the shutter speed as the light changes...that works pretty well...
