Your 210 is about an 8 inch lens. So - figure f/8. Extend the bellows to 16 inches and figure f/16. Two stops compensation. Not perfect, but close enough for "zone" system type of figuring on exposure compensation. Easy to figure with a 6 inch lens(150) or a 12 inch lens(300). Again - not perfect, but close enough to work for most of us. You figure "inch" to f/stops and keep it simple.
Use the "inch conversion" method for figuring exposure compensation for bellows extension and it is pretty easy. A lot easier for those of us who are mathmatically challenged. Some of us hear "formula" and think of race cars rather than X and Y and computations.
