Backplate windows?

[Andrew Frazer <Andy.Frazer@xxxxxxx>]

I just started using a new Olympus OM-2000 for my HIE
work.  I haven't finished the first roll yet, but I'm
worried about the little see-through window on the
backplate of the camera.  This window is a narrow slit
that lets you read the ISO rating directly off the 
film canister.  Obviously it's going to let in IR light.
I've covered it up with black electrical tape.  I haven't
seen the results yet, but I hope the electrical tape
will prevent the film from fogging.

Now, I know other camera bodies have similar windows on the
backplate.  Has anyone had any experience covering these
windows up?  Does electrical tape work?


Thanks in advance,
