[OM] macro lens advice wanted

Subject: [OM] macro lens advice wanted

I am currently considering the purchase of a macro lens to use with the auto
extension tube, focusing rail and stage, and tripod or with the auto
bellows. I seem to be leaning towards the 135mm f4.5.  The distance from
lens to subject is an import factor for me due to medical problems
(arthritic knees and ankles) .  Any advice on the advantages and/or
disadvantages of, or a comparison of the 135mm f4.5 and the 80mm f4 would be
greatly appreciated. What would be the price ranges for these lenses?  Does
anyone know of one for sale? I currently have a 50mm f3.5 macro and have
been quite pleased with it's results. What other options should I consider?

Thanks in advance for your input.


Rich.
