I don't know about your enlarger, but with my Durst Laborator 138,
it's much easier to make prints smaller than 8x10 with longer lens
than standard for the format, especially because I set the easel
height to be rather low for comfort when making large prints. I don't
make any highly critical prints smaller than 8x10, and most of my real
prints are 11x14 and up, so this doesn't affect me much.
With my smaller Durst M601 enlarger, I never had to use longer than
normal lenses except when I printed a set of passport photographs.
