Correct advice from an accomplished infrared shooter (Josh).
I have used an OM-1 in the past and now have settled on my OM-2 as my
dedicated HIE camera, only because I sometimes need auto exposure for remote
installations. All OM bodies should work just fine, except perhaps those
two-digit cameras with film cassette windows - don't know for sure. I, too,
use 120 paper on the pressure plate of my OM-2, thopugh I have never seen
any evidence of dimple-through. It can't hurt and is easy to do.
Here is one of my shots:
