Oben,

Sorry, no URL...
The trick is to use a fixed flash output (no auto flash) and a fixed
position of your flash. Then shoot test exposures for a range of aperture
settings and some different magnifications. The result is (IMO) better than
TTL flash for macro photography. TTL has problems with the light fall-off at
these close distances (very black backgrounds and brightly lit foregrounds,
difficult to compensate for). I use manual flash even on a TTL capable OM.
