maxxum 9xi and infrared film

I'm going on vacation next week and plan to bring 1 film camera in addition to the a700 gear. I'm planning to shoot one of my remaining rolls of kodak HIE B+W Infrared film. My question is: will the motorized advance in the 9xi fog infrared?

I've never used the HIE in this body and would like to avoid unpleasant surprises. I have plenty of other options if someone knows that it will cause a problem.

Thanks for the quick reply. Also, great sight that I was unaware existed. This one will stay bookmarked.

Hmmm...

I have 1" wide black gaffer tape. It's certainly opaque and the right size, but what about thickness and changing the focus point of the film plane? Considering there is already the issue of focus with infrared, what will this add to the calculation. Suppose stopping down to F16 makes the most sense, unless some else has tried this.

The gaffer tape that I have (3M) leaves little or no residue behind. I mostly use it for taping gels to hot lights (its intended purpose) as it withstands heat and won't leave your lights looking gross after taking the tape off.
Still, I may try a piece first on an old 3xi that does not AF anymore to try it out before sticking it to my 9xi.

You are, of course, correct regarding the film plane. Had I thought about it longer, I'd have come to same conclusion. Thanks for steering me in that direction.
