Well, even if your camera's lens is in these conditions, let me tell you, what made the photo look super good or was it the way you edited it? And also the bird is beautiful, I am your admirer @gamer00

It's mostly editing, given that the photo was one of the better ones I had shot. It's the chromatic aberration of the lens that annoys me the most.
It's not generally an issue when there isn't so much contrast in the photo, but as soon as there's a stark contrast in the photo, say a dark bird and a big bright background, the colour distortion gets distracting and pretty much unbearable. Add to that the fact that when shooting birds, they tend to be pretty far away unless I can get within a couple of meters (even the 300mm doesn't help if there's over 30 meters of distance) so I will have to crop the image to make the subject seem closer. The distortions will only magnify and eventually destroy the image quality.
In very close proximity the lens behaves reasonably well, but if I want to extend the reach I will end up having to crop and that just doesn't work with this lens.
The optimal solution would be to get a sharp and decently fast (maybe F4) 300mm, 400mm or 600mm lens and maybe an extender too, so I wouldn't have to crop so much and the quality wouldn't be as abhorrent as it is with the old 75-300mm. But those are somewhat expensive.
Well, you're right, I'm not a photographer, but if I know the basic principles to make a good photograph and I think the lens has a lot to do depending on what we're looking for, I personally recommend this lens, even if it's very expensive! EF lens 24-105mm f4 IS (Zoom) Price: $ 678.99
