Linhof, to the best of my knowledge, sincve at least the '50's, has never
made any cautionary statement regarding their bellows materials and
Infrared leakage.  In fact, their handbooks used to show images made on
IR film with Technika (bellows) cameras.  Kodak's older IR books also
contained images obviously made on a view camera (perspective adjustments)
which doubtless were made on a Kodak view.  I have also seen Graflex-shot
IR images.  My guess is that no reputable manufacturer has made a bellows that
leaks IR light in many years.  I wouldn't worry about it.
