When in doubt or when needed, cover the camera and bellows with your dark cloth before pulling the darkslide. Minimize the time the darkslide is out. Many of us do this as SOP.

You aren't going to get better bellows than Keith's so the question is moot. I would just wrap the camera in a decent dark cloth to be sure.
Thank you for confirming, Peter.
I'm a member of the "Covering the Bellows with the Dark Cloth Club", so I'll be continuing to do that.
I agree, Tobias...I've purchased an excellent bellows from CB for my 5x7, but, alas...no 5x7 infrared film.
Thanks for the input, folks..my frames are on their way !
It may be a good idea to use the white side of the dark cloth facing outward, if there is a white side, when covering the bellows and camera during IR use. Black absorbs heat, aka IR, and white/light colors tend to reflect a lot more heat/IR.
