Olympus OM-1 causing weird flares ? (Help needed!!!)

[Siri Bjoner <sbjoner@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all!

As I was scanning some infrared pics I`ve taken (Kodak HIE, OM-1, 28/3.5) I
discovered that all those shots were flared. From the bottom of the shot,
there are several flares (5 that I could count) starting from the bottom
centre and extending outwards. Upon close examination of the paper copy, I
can barely make them out but they are extremely obvious when scanned
(unretrievable?).

This is not a problem with other films; there must be something about the
OM-1/HIE combo that doesn`t approve.

Seriously, I was hoping to use this camera as my main IR camera, and if
this is normal behaviour... ;-(

Anyone have any ideas as to what it might be?

At least I don`t have a problem with dimples from a backplate.....

siri.
