>The frame should work.  I have used my wooden view camera for IR with the
only problem being the bellows.  I place a piece of aluminum foil over the
top of the bellows (this is what I wrap my film holders in) when I'm
actually shooting.  I also work as fast as I can so that the dark slide is
up (not out) for the shortest time.
