You need a dedicated flash with this lens. Expensive and diffiicult to use for new macro photographers.

If you can get the bellows then think about getting a focusing rail as mentioned. Extension tubes are a good first option. Option of choice depends on your camera, if its a later day canon or nikon then going for the tubes usually allows auto-focus/metering to work.
