what I do is try to memorize the kind of compensation I need for which shooting situation. It works especially if you always do portraits with the same lens/ film format because the human beings are all about the same size but that is too hot for real macros for me!
I just calculate a scale for bellows compensation and paste it to the lensboard of the lens. Always there for me. I also know the measurment of my hand span (thumbtip to pinkytip when my hand is all stretched out) so I can estimate accurately enough without carrying a measuring device.
