I looked this up and read the consumer reviews. They were mixed but overall good. What are you using this lens on- Olympus or Panasonic?
I use a Panasonic 100-300 on my OMD E-M5, and love it. The combination isn't as good as the Tamron 150-600 on a D800, but at ISO below 640 it's pretty close, and it's so much easier to carry. The camera's OS is better than the lens's- if you get one, don't use both at the same time!
This is handheld, at about 8 feet.

The Oly 75-300 is not bad. I am no kind of wildlife photographer at all, so I don't claim expertise, but it does OK for me except in real bad light.
Sample below, the first is SOOC and the second is the final edit/crop from it so you can see I went pretty far with the crop. Zoomed out all the way. Most animals end up having to be cropped because the 300 is not long enough to avoid scaring them except when you're in National Parks or something, where they are more used to us. Most animals where I live deal with human predators regularly so they are pretty shy.
I've been tempted by the ancient BIgma with the 43 adapter but a trusted friend told me it didn't work that well.

The cropped version looks pretty good to me. I would be happy. May have to try that lens.
