Hi Arthur,
Your lab experience confirms that if you want something done properly,
you must do it yourself. I toyed a bit with K-HIE films once and never
had any problems when developing it myself. Never noticed any dimples
either.
I seem to remember that the film comes in a special container, which
should only be opened in a darkroom. At a guess, the film casette was
taken out of the special container outside the darkroom at some stage.
When shooting in the IR, also consider colour IR film. It can add some
really weird effects to your landscape pictures.
Regards
Lars
