First, yes the Graflex backs are IR proof; I use two of them for IR with no
problems. Second I think you can do better than the B&H price. I have seen
prices around the $215 range quoted on this forum.  Plus you can get much
quicker delivery since B&H, at last inquiry, didn't stock and seemed to order
from Kodak only when it was part of a larger order.  I got my last roll from
Olympic Photo in Seattle and had it drop shipped in dry ice straight from
Kodak.
