AF tubes are rare and costly. A-type tubes, with the aperture contacts but no AF, aren't real cheap and available either. I've found the cost-effective approach is to get old A-type TCs and remove the glass from them. My 2x TCs averaged US$15 each (shipped). These are both about 25mm thick; I've seen M-types as much as 30mm thick.
If a 100mm macro will reach 1:1 magnification by itself,
then with four such deglassed TCs, each 25mm thick, you can reach 2:1. And four TCs will probably cost rather less than 100mm of A-type extension tubes.
EDIT: Clarification highlighted above. But I just checked the DFA100WR specs and it DOES go to 1:1, right? So the numbers are correct.
If you're handy with a soldering iron, there's another trick: Get just one A-type TC, and almost any used bayonet bellows. Doesn't matter if the bellows are for Pentax, Nikon, Exakta, OM, whatever, as long as the mounting plates are held on by screws. Remove the mounts from the TC. Pull the mounts from the bellows and replace them with the PK-TC mounts. Solder wires to connect the contacts of the front and rear mounts. Now you have an A-type bellows!
