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.

Have one T-90 and hope soon to have a second. Like to do macro shooting and wonder if anyone has suggestions on a good focusing screen to use? Have the standard split screen and it darkens when coming in close to focus.

I have a T90 outfit & I need a new viewfinder eye-cup & a lens hood for an FD f1.8 50mm lens. Has anyone any ideas as to where I could obtain them?

Regards

Why don't you stuck shutter people follow my remedy (posted july2001) - Remove lens and bring camera down sharply on carpeted floor. Camera in upright taking position of course. Almost certainly the shutter will be released. Cost? - nil

My T90 has the same problem as that described by Mark and Don Clary. In fact, in the last four years I have spent more at certain authorized Canon repair shop than I paid for the camera in the first place. In particular, in June 2000 I was talked into replacing the entire shutter mechanism-- nearly $300. Six months later it failed, and in June this year it failed again. Needless to say , this guy never mentioned how it was possible to manage the problem.
The T90 is simply not an economically practical camera if this problem cannot be solved permanently. Mechanically, it's difficult to understand how the magnet can get gummed up when the camera is not operated but not when it is operated. It's completely ridiculous to have such a problem in a camera of the T90's pretensions and price, especially the necessity of "exercising" it every few weeks, no matter how wonderful it is--and it IS-- when it does work. I am having to use my other camera body, an A1; I took it off the shelf, where it had been lying for I don't know how long, put some film in it and it works perfectly.

Hi,

I just purchased a used Canon T-90 body after making extensive use of this web site. It really helped me to make up my mind between a couple of different models.

I am also making use of the HTML and PDF manuals for the T-90 and the Speedlite 300.

This web site is excellent!

My regards and thanks to the people involved in putting it together.

Jon

Mark - The physical problem is lubricant being deposited on the shutter release magnets. The shutter should not need to be replaced, only cleaned. Since the magnets are buried deep within the T90, it is still expensive - perhaps $90 to $120 range for a CLA (clean, lubricate, adjust). I recommend Steve at Steven40@aol.com, in Reno, Nevada, U.S.A. How to prevent this? You must use the camera or at least exercise and fire the shutter often, at least once a month. You don't need to have film in it to exercise the shutter. In my experience (2 T90s, 11 years each) if you do this, you will have no shutter problems. If you don't do this (also in my experience), I can positively guarantee and promise you will have shutter problems. The T90 shutter simply will not tolerate lack of use!

Hello,
My T90 has been having the same shutter problem as a number of people have posted - it dies such that when the shutter button is pressed, the shutter doesn't release and the film winding mode indicator pointer begins to flash. Everything else seems to be OK. To date it has done this about 4 times & each time the shutter has had to be replaced (at great cost!). Is shutter replacement the only remedy or is there some other way to fix the problem and what actually is the problem?

In desperation!

Best Regards,
Mark

Louise, (apart from the money), don't hesitate to buy the T90 - it seems to me no point in having an AE1 as well as an A1, as they are too similar. The T90 is a rather more sophisticated camera (proper TTL with flash for a start - although the 300TL flash is a very confusing beast I can tell you). Having a battery of FD lenses like you I decided that the T90 was the only way to go beyond an A1 so i bought one second hand in Japan when I went there a couple of yeas ago. The A1 has not been out the cupboard since and I don't really need a second body, I don't take that much film unless I am travelling on an overseas trip, which is about once a year - and then I take a compact olympus Mju as second camera not a big SLR body. You'll love the T90 if you get it - but as you say this list is biased. I have never had the EEEE problem - although I did have the equivent with the A1 once - remember the "double exposure" method to clear that? Lets face it, there is no point in going autofocus at this time as digital is already here bigger time than most thought even 12 months ago in terms of quality anyway..

I'm currently using an AE-1, with a selection of FD lenses, and I'm very happy with it. I'm thinking of investing in a second camera body to go with my existing system.

I've recently seen both an A-1 and a T-90 for sale at local dealers, and I'm undecided as to what to do. The A-1 would probably be adequate for my needs (after all, I've managed just fine with the AE-1 for years!), but the more advanced features of the T-90 are very tempting!! Of course, this would involve parting with more cash (the T-90 is selling for about twice the price of the A-1).

I know this is a T-90 message board, so you people are bound to be biased :-) and I've already received advice via another forum to buy the T-90. However, I'd appreciate any comments or advice, especially from anyone here who has experience of both cameras. I must admit that I'm a little concerned about the reliability of the T-90, after reading so many messages on this board about 'EEEE' and 'HELP' apperaing in the viewfinder/LCD - is this problem really that common?

I've been deliberating about this for ages now, and still can't come to a decision, so I hope someone here can help me to finally make my mind up!

Thanks, Louise
