Modern
Classic SLRs Series : |
The Canon T-90 was the last model that uses FD-mount prior to the shift to the autofocus EF EOS system. It hardly lasted a year since its inception but what an impact it has created on the design of future SLR. Every inch a classic, despite after more than 15 years, this camera is still hard to replicate even by today's standard. It was also widely acclaimed as one of the true Classic camera of modern times. Here comes a common Message Board designed specifically for Canon T90 SLR model - this is especially useful when you realize ALL Canon FD mount SLRs have long been discontinued you may require a public forum for common support and sharing mutual knowledge or experience among many of you. This Site has proved to be quite popular and I am quite happy to see these effort was not wasted and special thanks to ALL the volunteered Site Maintainers of this Message Board. Enjoy.

Tom, you mention a EOS lens to FD adapter in an earlier post. Where have you seen this as there is to my understanding no way to do this? There is 3 different FD Lens to EOS body adapters. The 1.2X version that Canon made to be used with long telephotos (same recessed rear element condition as the 1.4X-A) These sell in the $400.00 range and a super rare only being sold thru the Canon Pro services when EOS first came out to get the sports guys to switch bodies but still be able to use their long glass for a while. The second version is a third party with an optical component that will allow infinity focus but I'm told at a loss of some quality. These are also designed for longer lenses and will not work on any lenses under 100mm I believe. And the third made by both Canon and third party guys is basically an extension tube with a EOS mount on one end and a FD mount on the other only usable for close up work as you lose the infinity focus due to the extension of the lens away from the body. Hope this helps Mark W.3. From : Irwin Schmencrick (bzoo@hotmail.com)

Nanette,would Irwin stroke his grey beard and give anything but 14 kt. advice. . If the camera belonged to dad(its an inheritence sort of), maybe somebody in the family who is a camera nutsky and will find it his her Mt Everest. Canon threw in the whole caboodle into this camera and it aint so easy to figure it all out,believe, believe.Lightweight and sleek its not,although its like a big dobie it steals your heart:-)--- even Irwin forgets about mulimetering spot exposure averaging,doesnt everyone?. So here's the dope from the horses rear: You put this up for auction you kknow where and get four hundred dollars or so. Then you buy a nnew teeny weeny Canon Powershot S230 digital marvel. You'll be glad you did and thank Irwin later on for his directness and the wisdom of reading all those magazines...stay well. I.S4. From : TomR (tomrdale@aol.com)

Nanette, If you have any interest in photography beyond taking snaps at parties and family gatherings, hang on to the T-90.
Start slow. Use the same lens all the time (I think a 50mm is best to learn with) and shoot in Program AE mode using center weighted averaged metering until you get a grasp of the interaction between camera shutter speed and lens aperture. When you think you understand what 's going on, try the Aperture or Shutter Priority modes; or stay in Program AE and try the center weighted and spot metering modes. The camera manual has sections fro basic operations and advanced operation. Read it all but work on one section at a time. The important thing IMO is to learn one thing at a time. The T-90 has so many options that if you try to use them all before you understand the basics, you will get frustrated and it will sit in the closet which tends to lead to premature shutter problems. Yes, that's right, not using the T-90 is one of the worse things you can do to it.
Check in frequently with us, we're glad to help. Bob, Can't comment specifically on the 420 EX, but according to http://www.botzilla.com/photo/strobeVolts.html the trigger voltage of the 420EX is within tolerance for the T-90. Mount the flash on the t-90 you're planning on buying to see if it will maintain any of the automated features available on the T-90. I suggest this because I know that the 300TL flash (made specifically for the T-90) will only work in manual mode on my A-1. Also consider that your EOS lenses will not work on the T-90 unless you get an adapter, and then only in full manual mode with, I've been told, less than spetacular results. Let us know what you decide. TomR.5. From : Bob Gibson (rgibson@sofast.net)

Dave, Canon has a replacement fot the strap lug. It's made of metal instad of plastic as the original one. The original one is the top part of the switch board under the lid on the left. The metal lug is only the top on this, so what you have to do is to saw off the broken top and mount the metal part on instead. I glued it on with epoxy and it turned out fine. You just have to make sure that the surfaces are perfectly flat. The part# for the part is CG9-2676-000 Ketil7. From : James (jamesp@u.washington.edu)

Nanette: If you are unfamiliar with the basic mechanics of photography (aperture, shutter speed, etc) you won't be able to exploit all of the t90's features. However, like most newer SLR cameras, you can set it to "point and shoot" and not have to deal with unfamiliar settings (in this case, set the mode to "program" and the metering to "centerweighted"--see the instruction manual for details). Of course, you will still have to focus manually. The t90 is a well made, feature-rich, pro quality camera with a variety of (fairly inexpensive) available lenses. It's a great camera, and it doesn't take long to learn how to use the basic features. But, just remember: it's big, heavy, and may have more features than you will ever use. Canon doesn't make it anymore, which means you may have reliability/repair issues. Plus, it doesn't have a built-in flash, which means that you will have the added bulk of an attachment flash when shooting in lower light. If this sounds like something you might not like, you can still sell it and get ~$300-400 on Ebay. But if you are at all serious about taking up photography as a hobby, you have a great platform to start with. Hope this helps. --James8. From : Nanette (mamnam@adelphia.net)

My father recently passed away and while I was cleaning out his things I came across this camera, a Cannon T90. I am not a camera person and really have no clue as to the value of this camera or really anything about it. My question is... Is this camera something that maybe I should learn how to use or is this really not something for an amateur photographer to be trying to learn how to operate???? It has several attachments and manuals that are with it and I just wouldn't know where to start!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!9. From : John (jillyandjohn@lineone.net)
