Thanks all for the good news. I especially appreciate Daud's link and Michael's explanation of why it is intuitive as a result of the film travelling vertically.
Rob I am not sure I follow your point about the easel having to go sideways but I'll check my 645 mask for my Durst enlarger where it may become obvious. Currently I am unlikely to attempt bigger than 8x10 which I suppose my beg the question of why bother with MF if the biggest print in only 8x10 but even at 8x10 depending on the film used and the cropping and blow-up of the neg, I have seen situations where the 8x10 print seems to suffer a little from a 35mm neg.
Anyway many thanks again to you all
Mike
