Generally speaking, changing bags are not IR opaque.  I'm sure that there
are some that are, and hopefully someone here will recommend a specific
brand.  The subject has come up in the past.

As far as IR opacity is concerned, chances are that they'll be okay (even
my Holga has worked nicely).  There are a few other concerns with specific
cameras, like dimpling on the pressure plate, that someone can take note
on.  I have some specifics at home, so if nobody answers give me a shout.

Cheers -
