I don't have experience with this camera, but I don't think you'll have any
problems.  I use a 1916 Brownie as a pinhole camera with Konica IR and have had
no fogging problems.  It uses a little round window to help align the placement
of the film.  Konica's film does not necessitate the same precautions as Kodak's
film.
