you must move the lens FARTHER away from the film (closer to the paper) in
order to focus"

Sorry but this is incorrect I have  Durst 600 series, this machine is
designed for film sizes up to 6X6 and is normally fitted with a 75/80mm
lens. To use a 50mm for 35mm film it is necessary to use a recessed lens
board.
