When you add extension tubes to a zoom lens, the maximum magnification is at the wide end. It's like zooming backwards. At 45mm with 26mm tubes, you'll get close to 0.8x magnification, but the lens will be nearly touching the subject.

I only need to get a piece of the 0.8X. In fact as soon as the tubes arrive I’ll experiment with them and the 2X tc.
