Flare! repost



Apologies if this has appeared before but I think I had some problem
with my subscription.  At least I wasn't getting the mail and I didn't
see if this appeared or not.

I am very new to the IR area so I hope this isn't an old question.  I
just processed a roll of HIE and a roll of Konica IR750 and discovered
that most of the images are unusable because of what appears to be lens
flare.  The puzzling thing to me is that both were shot with reflex
cameras and I was not seeing flare through the viewfinders.  The HIE was
shot in a Nikon 8008s with a 28-70 zoom and between-the-rails #25
filter.  The Konica was shot in a Rollei TLR with a #25 filter in a
bayonet ring over the taking lens.  I have enough problems trying to
figure out the way to get sharper images without having flare too! 
Anybody got any ideas about why this occurred?

To be more specific, I have a line of images of the iris opening coming
across the neg.  I have used these cameras before in similar situations
but without the filters and haven't run across this problem.  Does
internal reflection become more of a problem with this setup?
