I use a Nikon N90s camera with a MF-26 back and it does not cause any
problems when using Kodak's HIE or EIR film, as long as you have the
data imprinting feature turned off.  What Nikon Camera back are you
using?

The data imprinting feature on the MF-26 (if turned on) is useless
with IR films though, because the light intensity from the LED's is
too strong and just makes a big white spot on the film. You could
probably filter it through a small piece of IR gel, but then I've
never really liked having numbers on the corner of my negs anyways.
