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.

Steve, There is no contrast adjustment for the right hand side viewfinder display. It is normal for the display to vary in apparent brightness depending on the ambient light.
James, It sounds like you have the camera in one of: Aperture Priority saftey shift; Variable shift; or Program AE. I ran a few meter readings on my T-90 and was able intermittently to recreate the situation you describe. It may be a little "quirk" of the camera's programing, or we both have the same problem. :) TomR.2. From : James P. (jamesp@u.washington.edu)

Okay, here goes. I understand that without a control back for my t90, the maximum time that the shutter will stay open is 30 seconds. When I decide to shoot in dark conditions with a small aperture, I often get the blinking 30" in my viewfinder, warning me that my shot will be underexposed. Of course, to fix this, I widen my aperture. However, sometimes, when I am shooting in these conditions with spot metering on, the settings will be well within limits, and yet they will still blink. For example, the settings may blink at [20", 5.6] (both settings blink), even though these are not the maximum shutter OR minimum aperture settings. It never happens when I switch to partial spot or center metering; only on spot/multispot meter. And as mentioned, it's always both settings that blink, not just one or the other. It will let me take the picture, but I don't know if I'm underexposing my shot. I haven't developed any of the rolls in question, so I can't check the results yet. Am I overlooking something obvious here? Maybe it's trying to tell me something else, but I can't seem to find any answers in my instruction manual. Who knows... this problem might have no effect on picture outcome; could be just an annoying little quirk. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, James3. From : Steve A. Recek (W18764560@msn.com)

Is there a contrast adjustment for the exposure scale at the right side of viewing frame of T90? Manual says white on blue background. Mine appears grey on light blue BG. Is something wrong with my camera? Thanks4. From : TomR (tomrdale@aol.com)

To: Tom Kennedy (tkennedy@tds.net) I too wondered about the interchangeability of screens for the AE-1P (which I no longer own) and T-90 (which I still do have). I have an E screen that I'm not using but couldn't remember for sure whether it was for T-90 or AE-1P. Looking at the E screen from the T-90 and the spare one, the only difference I could find was a small letter T on the edge of the T screen (none on the mystery screen). Also, all T-90 screens have a large circle that indicates the partial metering area in addition to the small circle coinciding with the microprism which indicates the spot metering area. My mystery screen didn't have the larger circle. I had been told in the past that the screens were not interchangeable, but decided to go ahead and try it. The mystery screen, which I now assume is for AE-1P, fits in the T-90 perfectly. Maybe there is a thickness difference which I can't see with the naked eye, which could cause focusing errors? The removal tools looked identical also. I'm pretty certain the F-1 screens are not interchangeable. They look much thicker in the pictures. Hope this helps.6.

Tom Kenedy, The microprism focussing screen is designated as "A". The split microprism screen is "E". I don't know if they will fit other cameras. I can only suggest haunting camera shops to try to find one. E Bay might be another possible source. You might also try other Canon camera sites on the internet. Good luck.7.

Does anyone know where I can get a split microprism or a microprism focusing screen for my T90? Is it the same screen used in the AE1 Program? Any info would such as part #'s or product descriptions would be helpful. Thanks8. From : Dave (dspada2@yahoo.com)

Re: off camera hot shoe cord for the 300TL and Canon T-90. I too wanted to retain all flash functions because I wanted to use my flash mounted on a bracket above the camera. I used the newer EOS cord 2 I believe it was and it retained all the functions. I had rented it at the time and took a look inside and saw there were no electronics, it was simply an extension cord. Since I already owned the t-90 300Tl off shoe combo and never use multiple flash I took the electronic guts out of the shoe adapter and extended the wires to the correct pins. I don't recommend this to the un-mechanically inclined because it's easy to make a mess of things. I didn't want to spend $60 or so dollars for the newer cord so I did it. ( of course you would not be able to do any multiple 300tl flash photography using the hot shoe adapter and get reliable exposures.) This seems to work fine for bracket mounted flash. The connector cord 2 for EOS works fine also. As with any flash camera combo, (e.g. vivitar 285 w/ a T-90), you must test the camera flash combo for the type of photography you intend to use it for and then tailor the exposure to fit your tastes.9.

Silvio, Here's an example: You've got the shot set up in Tv with a selected shutter speed of 1/250, and a lens with a 1.8 max
aperture. If there is not enough light for correct exposure the camera will override your set shutter speed to assure correct exposure. As an example the camera will keep the 1.8 and set shutter to say 1/60. So it's like exposure protection in case you make mistake. Of course if your intention is to be over/under exposed, you'd shut the safety shift off.10.
