Re: Nikon teleconverter shims

I don't believe they'd add a part that doesn't do anything.

It might be the shim is only needed with shorter focal lengths, longer lenses are more tolerant of changes in registration. It might be without the shim your lenses will not reach all the way to infinity under some temperature conditions when they would have done previously...

It might be it's added to prevent the TC being used for lenses it's not designed to work with!
