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.

I am about to purchase a used T-90 with command back. What problems should I keep my eyes open to? Is $450 too much for this type of camera? I noticed that on Ebay not that many people bid on this cameras. Whats up with that?

Hi all,
After bringing my T90 out of mothballs I found that it no longer functioned
The shutter would not release and the triangular arrow next to "single" on the lcd began flashing with a ticking sound coming from within the camera until i released my finger from the shutter release.

Any ideas? is my T90 dead or is there hope?

Thank you in advance for any replys, its great to see shuch intrest in the T90.

Hello :-)

What FOCUSING SCREEN would you suggest for general photography?? Any experience? Any tips/hints?

I have bought to T90 bodies quite cheaply. I want to resell one, but I can't decide which one. The main difference is that one has the standard focusing screen E (New Split/Microprism) and the other one has the screen L (Cross Split-Image).

Subjectively I like the standard screen E more. After 'playing' a bit with both bodies I considered it a bit confusing with the cross split when in low light situations one or more of the four segments suddenly darkend. But on the other hand: in low light situations the microprism isn't very useful either.

I am quite new to SLR photography and don't know what screen I would use when having advanced in photography a bit. I don't want to regret it later when having kept the 'wrong' screen.

So are there any special points I have to be aware of? Could you give me some advice or help for my decision? :-)

Many thanks in advance!!
Regards,
Florian

Hvidsten: I have tried full manual on my T-90. (Before I got my 300TL, I used manual settings for my Vivitat 283 flash.) With the shutter set to "TV" you set your desired shutter speed. Then move the lens aperture to the setting you desire. The viewfinder will still show the camera-suggested aperture, which you can then set on the lens, either higher, lower, or the same, that's what manual is all about. (I cut my teeth on my old reliable match-needle FTb.

I read in the manual about the "CD" that's supposed to show up on the display panel. I don't know what they are referring to, but my camera only shows the reverse "M." Shoot away, I don't think there is anything wrong with your camera. SS

Need Help! I bought an used T-90 this year. I want to manually override the camera but I cant get it right. I use a FD lens, I turn the camera to TV, but when I turn the aperture ring on the lens to different apertures the display in the viewfinder still go on automatic. I looked in the user manual here, and it says the camera should show CD on the display when I turn the lens From A(auto) to an aperture for instance 11, It don't. My camera still just show M. Is my camera broken?

Just to warn you folks... I recently found on Ebay (UK) what was described as a mint FD 300mm 2.8L lens... the photos seemed to verify the description... was asking reserve of around £750 I recall.... I could not decide on this hefty investment before the auction ended and sent him an email a day or two later querying whether he had sold it and if not would he still be interested - his reply was a bit off the wall and concluded with the phrase that I was too late and he had sold it to Calumet in Euston (London). I later rang Calumet and they had never heard of the man or his lens and stated they would never buy a manual focus telephoto. Email exhcanges then ensued between myself and the supposed "seller" and it got quite nasty - the long and short of it being that this would appear to be a sale based on fantasy on the part of the seller - I am sooo glad I never parted with my cash. For info his email address was kmh@gymsearch.co.uk.

I've had similar problems lately using Kodak film. Ive found that it seems to be wound to tight. My local camera shop has found similar problems and suggested slackening the film - manualy winding back a couple of turns prior to loading the camera.
