If all your magnification is due to extension, it's simple. Light loss is
magnification +1. So if you are at 1/2 magnification, the effective aperture
is 1.5 times the setting aperture. A setting of f8 will give an effective
aperture of about f12. You have lost 1 stop.
I've done rough calculations in my head, held the flash as about the right
distance, and had great results.
