Sigma makes some great lenses and wish they got this with the RF mount.
If anyone has experience with this lens would love to hear.

DC means APS-C;
DN means for Mirrorless system.
I think $400 should be decent price for this lens because of its old design, and its bulky size and heavy weight.

I use the EF version no problem with the adapter on the RF system. Even better AF than with the DSLRs

I'm using them in the EF mount, both on fullframe DSLR bodies and adapter onto Canon R-Series cameras, and the sharpness is right up there or better than most Canon L-Series lenses at 2-3x the price.
The one downside with them, is if you use them on a DSLR at wide apertures (1.4). The Sigma line has always been known to have front- or back-focusing issues at various distances. It might work fine at 1 foot, but backfocus a bit at 10 feet, for example. You can somewhat fix this (with a lot of work/effort) using the USB Dock (or sometimes in camera), but that's a mess of a process to do.
If you use a mirrorless camera or liveview on a DSLR, you won't have any issues.
One other note - Sigma has so many different lenses in the Art line that are sometimes in such close focal lengths.. 14-24mm, 14mm, 20mm, 24mm, 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, 105mm, 135mm.. my suggestion would be to find the one(s) that fit your style the most. 28mm is a nice focal length as you don't have as much distortion as a 20mm/24mm, and it's a bit wider than 35mm.
With all that said, I have about half a dozen of them: 14-24mm, 20mm, 24mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, 105mm, and they're all fantastic. I shoot them at f/1.4 whenever it allows for it, and images are very sharp, detailed and have nice color reproduction and clarity

Sigma has many great lenses a nice lineup of interesting ones. Yes i know i can use an EF Adapter for it buts its annoying as it is and have other EF lens's i use to RF.
Something nice about sigma is if not mistaken a rep from sigma was telling me that they can swap the mount for you so lets say they one day make it in RF you can get it swapped.
