Is the sigma 30mm f 2 8 dn art worth it?

Yes, I think it's worth it if you shoot on APS-C or Micro Four Thirds. On a Sony E camera it frames like a 45mm on full frame, a comfortable everyday view for street, travel and people. At f/2.8 it gives about the background blur of f/4.2 there, so it's not a portrait lens, but it's close in spirit. On Micro Four Thirds it works like a 60mm, a little tighter.

It's a prime with autofocus, and it isn't stabilised, so keep your shutter speed up in dim rooms. As the sensor sizes guide argues, lenses matter more than the last stop of sensor performance, and this is the kind of lens that proves it.

Good matches are the Sony a6400, the Sony a6700 and the OM System OM-5 Mark II. If you want to see how the crop changes your framing, the focal length converter will show you the numbers.
