Welcome, Ryan
4Ti seems to be very reliable. Don't know why it's cheaper.
50/3.5 is a very good lens. 25 tube will get you to 1:1. 65-116 is like
any other extension tube, except it has the zoom capability. Acts like a
portable bellows. It'll get you to 2:1 with the 80/4. They seem to be
fairly expensive used. $150 and up I think.
