Will Tamron 150-600mm f/5-6.3 VC Di SP USD A011 Canon EF lens work on a Rebel T7?

Finding mixed responses on whether or not this will work on the T7.  Vendor says this is the A011 model, whatever that means.  Maybe that's why there are opposing answers?

I hand hold mine regularly as I do my even bigger Sigma Sport. Here's the deal, monopods and or tripods are too constricting, if you can't hand hold it you will miss lots of good opportunities. BIF as a example from a tripod or monopod is more difficult to impossible.

It comes down to the fact if you find the gear too big or too heavy or too, etc, you need to choose a different subject matter or type of photography or find a different hobby all together. The gear is what the gear is.

Zoom lenses of this focal range are all pretty much similar in size and weight.  I rarely shoot with a monopod or tripod and, at 72, I do weights to make sure I can keep my gear steady for prolongued periods while shooting.
