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.

Karen, a few questions to help you nail down what's wrong.
1. Has your film been on a trip? Like thru a airport X-Ray machine.
2. Have you used this same film with your A-1 and have the results been different?
3. have you tried a different lab?
4. Has the lens been dropped?
5. What lens is it?
6. Discribe the hazy effect in detail if you can?
7. Do you wear eyeglasses or contacts and has your vision changed at all?
8. Is the lens sharp when mounted to your A-1?
I know a lot of questions but without being able to see it I have to get the info from you.
Glad to help if I can.

Mark W.

Irwin-
Thanks again. Hope i'm not being too High maintenance. Anyway- i'm having trouble getting a clear picture. Not only through the lense but the end result as well. I experimented with my last three rolls of film. Different speeds, programs and flash/no flash. Still hazy pix. What do you think. Also, the A-1 has dust/spots on the lense and mirror as well (dust). Tried to coax it off but no success. Decided not to mess with it any further. I will try the test roll next week and see what happens.
Karen

Karen, glad to be of some help. Don't get it cleaned yet. I am constantly learning things about the camera. If the A-1 gave you geat results, I am wondering what you are not getting with the T-90. I shot for 10 years with an A-1 and get better results with the T-90, because I like the semi-spot metering. I just lock on to the area that looks medium gray to me and hold it while I recompose and then bingo dead on most of the time. Before you spend money its good I think to figure out what the problem may be. What seems to be the trouble, as the doctor says...? The shutter is usually either working or not working. The exposure system is hard to fool for grass and sky and trees. So ,say, maybe you need to do some test rolls. A test roll is where you shoot with slide film (but you know about that already.) And the books will help you do the test with a slow film,I know people who are getting pains just because the photolab changed. Then you can get an idea of what needs fixing. You never told us young lady.. If its your knowledge of the camera,we can help. Its a great model. You will learn to like it even more than an A-1. Everybody loves the Tank. Cause its so cute. As always, I.S.

Irwin and Mickey-
First, thank you for your response. I will definitely be keeping my T90. I have had an A-1 since 1994 and also have three other cameras. I'm not THAT pathetic as to have no experience at all. However the T90 definitely brings everything to a new level. Thank you for your recommendations re:books. I have been using the T90 as you suggested for a year (Program mode mostly, sometimes P-3) but, Mickey, as you point out the aperture and shutter speed is what I don't understand. Please bear with me- I haven't needed to learn this until now, but in the two modes I have been using, i'm not getting the results I want. I think, maybe it needs to be professionally cleaned as well. I will send it in. Any further thoughts as welcomed.
Karen

Suddenly pressing the shutter button on my T-90 only causes all the characters in the LCD screen to flash... no shutter/mirror activity at all. It has fresh batteries in it. Up to the point of pressing the shutter release, all metering activity looks normal. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

- Al

Karen Wood,
Irwin Schmendrick is, as usual. 100% correct .It sounds as if you have only used fully automatic point and shoot cameras and have never had the opportunity to learn the very simple photographic basics. No matter how simple or complicated a camera may be there are only three settings that must be made. Shutter speed, aperture and focus. As Mr. Schmendrick pointed out the wonderful T90, when set as he suggested, will automatically perform the first two for you to near perfection. All you need do is focus the lens - a simple procedure and "push the button". However, at some time in the future you might feel the need to go beyond point and shoot. At that time the T90, which is so remarkably versatile, will enable you to greatly expand your photographic horizon. Keep it. Use it. Should you eventualy wish to delve further into the fascinating picture taking process there are thousands of books and even more people to which you can turn for help. And you will have the camera that is up to almost any chore you might ask of it.

Karen, darlink, this is a complicated camera, don't let anyone fool you. Some people are not for a T90. But you know, there is a way to fool the camera into acting like a Pentax Drug Store Camera. Try this: Hold down the little bumpy button on the left that says metering/clear and watch the display mode. Turn the little notched wheel until you get the full metering pattern/clear screen on the upper right of the display,ok?. For you that should be your choice an average metering,good for lots of stuff.. Ok, then set the shooting mode button by holding it down and watching the little symbols on the display until you get to Program,then release it. OK,still with me? Now down on the front panel, push the two buttons that say safety shift in (thats a good idea,to always have the safety shift on, for the future.Lets see, what else. Ok, in the back you can find out how to go to single shot mode,that's a good one for almost all shots. If that is too hard to follow, lets be friends and say this camera is maybe to keep bgut let someone near and dear use it. For you I got a nice idea. How about a nice Canon Sureshot? This T90 computerized multi metering fellow has everything Canon knew to put into its FD models to date. So if you need help, and you also have the Hove Book on T90 (try Amazon UK) and read whatsisname's review of it and everything on line (Mein Gott there are about 1000 Q and A's right here in this forum.) On the other hand, its not a jelly sandwich to learn. Try the simple settings and see what you get. Itis worth learning more, because it is a great way to learn about photography. Maybe too,you are needing some good books on photo,hmm. I suggest anything by John Hedgcoe or Michael Freeman. Yes they are limeys,but this time its Lend Lease Program in Reverse, they are good photo teachers. Shalom, Be Well, Give It another Six Months. Maybe take that community college course on cameras if you need the basics hands on. And if not, like my wife, there are simpler machines. Any questions, don't forget we are all here for you. Even though some of us all not all there,hah hah. I.S.

Please help!! I am an ameture photographer that just inherited the T90. I have tried for about a year to figure it out on my own, but this baby's serious. I have read the manual a few times but i'm just not that educated re: manual cameras. This camera had sentimental value. I reallt want to learn how to use it. Where do I start???

Paul Callingham,
Near the bottom of this page click on "page 8". See Item 74 from John Lowe. From other comments he seems to be highly qualified and very reasonable.
