reason of this test is to compare both Teleconvertors on the latest professional Nikkor lens. TC20E-III was designed for usage on Nikkor 300/2.8 VR II
and therefore lets have a look how it performs in comparison to the older TC model.

Its evident that the version 2 makes colors much more warmer than third generation. As you may see in full croped images also third generation performs much better with this lens. Its sharper and more detailed.
Also i would say the color rendition is more accurate.
