I have a cannon 10d and am looking to expand my macro capability (most macro is done with my other camera atm). To start off I am going to get an extension tube/tube set. I have never used any extension tubes. Most of the macro photography I do is in the aquarium, so you can't move the subject and you can only get as close as the glass. The lens I mostly will be using is 35mm - 105mm with an f-stop range of 3.5 to 22. Should I get just the one extension tube that is 25mm:

or will i need the flexability of the 12, 20, 36mm set:

how big of diffrence does lets say 10mm make? What would you recomend. I don't want to waste money but I don't want to buy one to find I should have got the other ether. Thanks

Agreed, go for the set of three. That's what I've got too, and the freedom to choose different magnifications is helpful.
