I have to educate myself on achromatic adapters, how much does the minimum focal length change by? Is there a rule of thumb?

Is that their only purpose, simulating macro lenses?

I think this is the quickest explanation HERE . They function like the cheapo diopters, but they have an extra element that removes chromatic aberrations and keeps the whole thing in focus.

The Nikon ones are discontinued, but look on ebay for "matched macro adapter." These used to come with some 100mm lenses to make them 1:1 macro capable, but they work fine with any lens you can screw them on to.
