Or worse if one got the dots from the back of the plate!

always!  As long as it has reduced spectral sensitivity and an antihalation layer( that Kodak neglected to add to their film ;)


btw, has anyone ever replaced their pressure plate with a high polished chrome plate?  It's rather neat to get that same halation flare exhibited by Kodak's IR, but with a normal spectral film.

I'd also add that if you wanted to get Kodak's now defunct film to behave like a normal film (no flaring) you could either tape some black, 120 film backing to the pressure plate to eliminate the flare, or pinch the pressure plate out of a Canon T90 - it was the only pressure plate I found of all the cameras which didn't look like a mirror under IR light.  The old black painted sheet film doubledarks also kept the film in check better the modern black anodized ones ( black anodizing is transparent to IR )
