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.

where should i look in Britain to find a 100-300mm lens FD fitting for my T90. It doesn't have to be canon, however it would be helpful if it was moderatley priced.2. From : Matej Prochazka (harnod@atlas.cz)

HI all,
I have the following question: are lens hoods for EF lenses compatible with the old FD bayonets? I found a ROWI rubber one for my 50/1.8 but I could not find any for a 28/2.8, 35-70/3.5-4.5, 100-300/5.6 DO you have any ideas? Please reply to my e-mail (harnod@atlas.cz) as I do not access this page often.
Thankx

Karen, I kind of like Mark W's suggestions. If the A-1 gave good results with a lens, and still does, then you can think the new body is to blame. But you need to check. So include the A-1 in your tests. This is the scientific methud I got from the Bronx Science High School. Means you control for the different things you suspect. When people get lousy pictures nowadays the thing that changes is the Fuji mini lab operator. They get hazy in the work. It never hurts to gently clean the len. Never the mirror. The viewfinder can get pretty bad,but it is not going to harm the picture unless you can't focus. Use a bright sunlit subject that is sharp. My cousin Gertrude reminds me that over half of fixing things is cleaning, but you have to know how to clean, and so the suggestions make sense on microfiber cloth, and maybe a good lens solution. Can you see goop when you hold the lens up to a strong light? All mirrors,you know, have some dust. No Hoover can get it off, and it doesnt matter. Good luck. I think the Mayo
Clinic may after all be the place for your cameras if you dont want to spend a lifetime finding the trouble. Professional work costs, but so does diagnosis all by yourself. I wish you well. Be good, and try the prune danish when you need something to lift the sspirit,young lady. Yours truly, Irwin of the House of Irwin, Ltd.4. From : Mickey Oberman (mickeyobe@internet.look.ca)

Mark, The proofreader goofed in my previous letter. MICROFILM lens cleaning cloth should be MICROFIBRE.5. From : Mickey Oberman (mickeyobe@internet.look.ca)

Mark, Although I have heard many times that facial tissues (e.g. Kleenex) will scratch a lens, I have never heard an example of such an occurance. And certainly they are softer than lens tissues. I have lenses for my old Exacta VX II B that have been in use and cleaned with nothing more than a very soft brush (one is a lens brush that resembles a lipstick tube and the other resembles a fountain pen but the bristles are protected and are never touched by my fingers), facial tissue and my own steamy breath for over 40 years. They are pristine. Well, the glass is pristine. I agree that microfilm lens cleaning cloths and well worn and washed T shirt peices are excellent but they are used and re-used and that is a concern as they may pick up grit and accumulate oil. Facial tissues are used only once and discarded. Futhermore, I do not carry cleaning to extremes and am very gentle. More often than not a slight puff of air will remove any dust and lint. I am adamantly against those new lens cleaning brushes. The bristles are always exposed at their ends and the actual cleaning pad seems to be rather harsh. I am sure I will be shot down by someone. Fun eh?6. From : eM (em.read@ntlworld.com)

I've managed to loose the battery holder for my T90. I presume spares are almost impossible to track down, but thought I'd ask anyway. I'm in the UK.
Best wishes to all.7. From : Mark Bowden (bowdenm@lycos.com)

Hello everyone
Mickey I like your post except for using a tissue to clean the lens. Any regular tissue will scratch. I would suggest instead a lens cleaning cloth which are cheap or even a T-shirt that has been washed many times.
By the way I am starting a Photography Club here at my job and will be representing the wonderful T90 to everyone. Take care.8. From : Mickey Oberman (mickeyobe@internet.look.ca)

Karen, Before resorting to all kinds of drastic measures or pestering your doctor try cleaning your lens including the rear element. First brush it gently with a very soft, clean brush. Then breathe on it to mist it up. Then wipe it gently with a facial tissue or a Q-Tip, starting at the outer edge and working toward the centre. Forget cleaning fluid and lens tissues and any fancy gimmicks. Simpler is better. If you have any kind of filter on your lens give it the same treatment on both sides. Indeed, you might also try removing the filter altogether.
By the way one of the better books that is useful from rank amature to seasoned pro is "National Geographic Photography Guide"

Karen, I think you may have Parkinson. Try using a tripod next time and the result will be much clearer and sharper.10.

Karen, it sounds as though you have a lens problem more than anything (obviously dust on the mirror makes no difference as it goes up and away when the exposure is taken). I have a Canon 28-55 zoom lens which effectively gives me a similar sort of problem -I would perhaps say "foggy" rather than hazy. Looking through the lens is definitely foggy and there is slight annoying evidence of that in the resulting photographs, particularly if you are pointing towards a light source etc. The strange thing is that it is not as if there is creeping fungus everywhere in the lens, there is not much visible at all to indicate why this is happening. It just started to creep in, with the result that I am not really using the lens. Mention of it to a camera store here in Sydney suggested that the elements could be taken apart and the whole lens cleaned to fix it (they were saying this without seeing the lens however-I assume that it is therefore a relatively common procedure). Alas I have not embarked upon that black science -- I always figure that the optical configuration of the lens will likely come off second best in such a "repair" exercise and it will never be able to duplicate the out of factory performance. Has any one else had similar problems?
