Efke IR 820 and red window

[DBP]

I picked up some of this in 127. Given the age of some of my 127 cameras, I am wondering whether I can use it in a camera with red window advance or have to stick to the others.

I make note of how far I need to crank the knob to advance one frame, then cover the window with black electrical tape. Works okay.

I can't even use a normal panchromatic film in my red window cameras without godawful light leaks.

ironically, i haven't had light leak issues with pan film in a holga by leaving the rear window uncovered. granted, i've never shot in daylight with a holga.
