If you read the green lettering on the 65-116 tube it says "135mm 80mm MACRO".
For someone unfamiliar with the autotube, that could be interpreted as a
135mm-80mm extension tube.  Of course that heading is just an indicator
for the reproduction ratios that you see when the tube is extended.  Nowhere
on the auto tube does it say it's a 65-116 tube.
