Need advice on lens choices

I believe that the extension tube's contribution is primarily changing the focusing distance.





Do they change the angle of view as well?

I believe that, too.

It depends on what you mean. They allow you to focus closer, and when you do focus closer, your angle of view diminishes. But of course if you focus 10 feet away with or without extension tubes, you get the same angle of view.
