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.

To explain my remarks on the Speedlite manuals, remember that the Canon T90 was Canon first venture mit TTL flash and a lot of people couldnt get the idea of fill flash and flash exposure lock and how the camera works in Tv and Av modes with the spot metering, so Canon put out an informal and pretty good paper of 15 pages on the 300TL. That is the one Herr Uberman my Canada friend was metioning and I think it is on Rollingers site in PDF. This was disowned sometimes it seems by Canon USA but got circulated informally (like the fabled beaver shot of Terry Moore a movie actress posing in a wind gust and showing keine underwear, ah so, hot stuff for the cold war day) Then Canon put up for sale the material in the 15 pages and added more stuff to it and called it " Speedlite Reference Guide." (1991) you know. A real publication. It goes into use of the 300TL with EOS cameras and the use of other Speedlites with T90 and the EOS models. It gets into flash compensation adjustment for the fill amount which can only be done crudely with the T90 and the 300TL by use of the zoom head I cant explain now here but it helps a little to know it can be done some. This booklet tries and almost succeeds in being a text for on camera Canon A- TTL flash and it is a bound booklet of 75 pages.( Dr Strangelove got his from Glazers Photo of Seattle for five dollars couple years ago). ( We will try to get a copy to Herr Rollinger FD benefactor of the web some day so it can be made available to the discrminating T90 world on line. ) This was a copyrighted booklet and so we get into questions about fair use, but maybe we dont have to go to the Hague Court himmel! to get it published, ja? Dr S still living off beans and jerky in Montana burrows,liebe friends.

The doctor is still IN. Ja,we are what mein wife calls eccentric so why not.It can be comfy and low taxes in a mineshafft in Montana. No salesman,no door to door girl scout cookies. But I think I stay cool in shaft until like the poet says alle menschen werden bruder,that or I get bulldozed for a Walmart Super Store... Mickey you give wonderful book list on the T90. The more you read, the more you love Der Tank. But it is not a hard to figure out machine,I dont need my sliderule.. Some of the EOS Canon models I have seen come and go and still the T90 chugs on. We must thank the Malaysia people for all their work to keep this place. One more I think you forgot. Canon Speedlite Reference Guide in red and black cover was another good manual,but hard to find. This is the thinking man's and woman's camera. Canon overdid themselves. It happens only once in a while.Wiedersehen, Dr S. c/o Gofer Broke, MT

Mark Wahlster,
Ok. Here goes. These are my own personal opinions and I am sure others may well disagree with me.
1. Canon T90 Quick Reference Book. I have never seen it.
2. Canon T90 Owners Manual. My most important and valuable accessory. More necessary than my shutter finger. Enclosed in a Zip Loc sandwich bag it is always with me (photographicaly speaking). The answer to 99.9% of T90 problems and questions.
3. Hove Complete T90 Users Guide. I have the Hove-Fountain Books 'Canon T90' by Richard Hunecke. I don't know if it is the same book you mention. An excellent little book that also gives information on accessories not covered in manual.
4. Canon T90 Performance Book. A pretty book but it seems to be more of a promotional publication rather than a source of information. I'm not condemning it but this is not a rave review.
5. Canon 300 TL Flash Instruction Manual. Oh dear. I'm sure it contains all one might wish to know about the 300 TL. But each book should come with an interpreter. It's essential and is in the same sandwich bag as the T90 manual but I would much rather go for my information to
6. Canon 300 TL Speedlight Reference Guide. Truly an excellent publication that helps immensely to clarify the convoluted instructions in the manual. It is an ungainly size to carry about so I photocopied it. That way the original stays original. I refer to this little gem constantly.
7. Not mentioned in your letter. This remarkable site. It is so full of useful information that is freely available to anyone who wants to get the most from her/his T90 that it should be made a mandatory credit course for all T90 owners. It contains everything frome weird doctors who live in burroughs underneath the western desert to medically treating your ailing T90 with a mallet. Browse it. It's informative. It's interesting. It also happens to be fun. It will also lead you to other useful sites.
I have had my T90 since 1985 or 6 - can't remember. I use it more now than ever before and I still find books and other sources of information invaluable aids in solving insoluable problems.

1. Canon T90 Quick Referance Book
2. Canon T90 owners manual
3. Hove Complete T90 Users Guide
4. Canon T90 Performance Book
5. Canon 300 TL Flash Instruction Manual
6. Canon 300TL Speedlite Referance Guide
And any other books the group may know that deal with the T90 camera
and it's dedicated flash the 300TL.
I would like to ad the ones worth having to my growing libary of
Canon referance books I will of course get the origional manuals but
it's nice to have the information explained in a couple of different
ways. Give me an idea of the books worth to a user who wants to learn
the full abilities of the T90.

Any help will be appreciated, Mark W.

I am looking for a description of the T90 to TL300 flash interface.
Besides the obvious hot shoe flash contacts there are four more contacts which
pass additional information for TTL flashing.

I need to know how to quench the flash because I would like to use TTL metering with
my Coolpix 990 digital camera (I know the Nikon side of the interface) .

I would also like to have a copy of the TL300 circuit diagram.

If you answer this article please send me a copy by e-mail.

Thank you. George

One lens-question: Is it true that the Vivitar Series 1 28-105/2.8-3.8 is identical to the Cosina with the same specs? The latter seems to be much cheaper, and I think that cosina IS making stuff for vivitar...

ha ha, of course I meant right side... ha, british T90.
Also the side-door settings are correct. I just get the impression it is slowly dying...
