I have only just started out printing my own B&W so apologies if this is a silly question. Why use a longer focal length lens and have to raise the head/drop the print so far rather then use a shorter focal length and have the print nearer? I have a Durst 605 with colour head and I am still at the point of 'learning' the characteristics of what I have. Alan
