Absolutely right.
I just got back from picking up a 12 x 18 print I had mounted;
it was shot with the FA 28/f2.8 because I was just walking
around that day and didn't want to carry a lot around with me. I
had the 28 on an MX, which made a very nice compact kit.
BTW: The 12 x 18 looks very nice and could probably be enlarged
even more. So even though the 24/2.0 is better, you shouldn't
underrate the humble 28/2.8.
