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.

G. Arkwright,
For years I have been useing a wired remote control from an old VCR. It has what I think is called a mini jack and a thin and very flexible wire. It has 4 buttons, any one of which will fire the shutter. The wire is 40' long and it scrunches up to a slightly less than fist sized bundle. I know nothing about electronics. I believe all it does is close th circuit. Good hunting.2. From : A Lievesley (cyberastina@bigpond.com)

I live in Brisbane Australia and have a T90 which I purchased in the early 90's. it has not had a lot of use in the last year as i have tended to use my Eos 5 as the prime camera. On trying to use the T90 today i have found that it seems to have "died"in that when you switch it on an endeavour to take ashot the shutter does not release, the internal display goes out and there appears to be a vague ticking sound coming from within. Replacing the main batteries did not solve the problem. Reference to a service centre suggests that the main transport motor has failed, a vary rare fault in their experience, and they tell me that Canon do not supply the parts any more. You can imagine my despair at hearing this. I use it as a backup camera on jobs.
Can anyone offer any encouragement and has anyone encountered the same problem. Is there a solution and is it likely that a drive motor has actually failed with no use!3. From : Peter Gozinya (cinzano@hotmail.com)

Dear Arkwright. FYI I successfully made a twenty foot lead to an A series camera minijack winder out of speaker wire, two lead type. Found no substantial elec resistance that would cause loss of triggering and doubt that low voltage DC ( often wires up a whole house security alarm system trigger from 6 volts you know) would present that kind of a problem. What I did find was that the speaker wire was so stiff it made a hassel to wrap and store it. And you plan to use up to fifty feet of three wire homemade you say?. I agree that the Canon product,1000 T3 or whatever, with its ligher weight cable and connectors is the better way to handle this assignment... Unless you are shooting a fireworks spectacular from behind a berm, or maybe charging rhinos? (chuckle) then I'd look into an EOS system wireless controller LC-2 or LC3 or maybe-dont quote me for sure- an older LC-1 with an adapter even. These turn up used at moderate prices, but not less than a hundred US dollars most likely. Depends on whether you are just fooling around or not. Good remote shooting. Sincerely, Pete4.

Hi,Can anyone tell me if they have extended the lead on the 60T3 Remote Switch? It can be done but is there a problem with signal loss if the lead is extended too much,i.e not releasing the shutter.I intend to make the lead about 30 to 50 feet long,if anyone has done this or can give advise it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks G.Arkwright.6. From : Justin (hardtimer@hotmail.com)

Dear Mike and JTaylor and all.Hi.. When I was a grunt in the military someone told me a jammed M-16 could be fixed by hitting it hard with the butt on a rug. I tried it and the rifle jammed for good. Actually, I spent two months doing K-P!. Now about my T9O I use for the Hard Time Press Newsletter I publish.. If there is a homebrew fix that works reliably I am glad there is a web site like this one to share these rumors. Hope springs eternal behind these walls. Anything to save a buck or two..What do I do with the extra circuit boards by the way? Justin Case, c/o Federal Correction Center, Fort Leavenworth, KS7. From : mike (michaelg@marcusevansch.com)

Ok, So I thought I fixed the EEE / HELP problem by firing it rapidly. When I went to use it a day or two later with new film in it, it would give me the EEE after every exposure. I cleared the problem by taking out the batteries, but the problem still exists. Taylorman was that your suggestion for me or some other problem? Anyway, can somebody suggest something to fix this, or am I going to have to send this out?8. From : John L (john.lega@glm.com)

I have had a T90 since 1986 and am looking at selling it. I have the T90 and 300 TL. I also have the following lenses:
Tamron 70-210 3.8-4
Tamron 90mm Macro 1:2
Tamron 2x Tele-Converter
Vivitar 24mm
Canon 50mm 1.8
I also have some filters to go w/ some of these. I love the camera but I am upgrading to an EOS 3. I could keep it but it would be nice to apply the money towards the new system. Does anyone know how much I could ask for this system? The camera is in 10+ condition - no scratches. The flash works perfectly as well and the lenses are in 10+ condition as well.
Thanks so much.

Mend that sticking shutter in five seconds! No need to remove mirror boxes or anything at all - remove lens and bring base of T90 down sharply on carpeted floor. (must be preset on high speed with new batteries) Fire away and exercise shutter between films.My T90's now as good as new. Good luck.10.
