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.

Jan: if you use the flah, you can't go beyond 1/250, even if there is a lot of light. That's the maximun sync speed for the T90, you'd only get images with a lighter stripe if the camera allowed it.
I have an ML-2, but I guess it is very similar to the ML-3. When one sets the camera in Av mode, the shutter speed is controlled by the camera, and it will take into account both the subject and the background light level. To control the shutter speed you can
a) Set the aperture but on A. The camera will set 1/250 - and you are using plain TTL flash.
b) Switch to Tv setting, the camera wil set the aperture
c) Switch to one of the manual modes.

Hi there,

I have a T90 with an ML-3 macro flash. If I use it in P mode the camera cranks the diaphraghm wide opne. if I want to use a small diaphraghm (i.e. 11) for increased depth of field in Av mode the camera will not fix the sync speed at 1/60. Instead it will go down to really long speeds like 2 or 3 seconds. On the other hand, if there is enough light the camera will not prmit faster speed than 1/250 with the flash mounted. My question: How can I control my diaphragm and maintain correct sync speed with the ML-3?

Alex: to use more than a 300TL and mantain TTL metering (but not all features are available in multiflash) you'd need the "TTL Hot Shoe Adapter", a "Off Canera Shoe Adapter" and a "Connecting Cord" (they came in 60 and 300 cm version). There is also a TTL distributor to use up to four flash, but you don't need it just for two, if one is on the camera. They should be still the same used by some EOS models, and therefore available new or used.
There are many diffrent kind of brackets to use more than oone flash, the one to use depends on the situation. In studio one of the flash may be simply on a tripod, on field taking macros may require a very different setup.

I remind people once again that I am a fully qualified camera technician with many years experience and was Canon trained on the T90. I have repaired literally hundreds of these great cameras and have many spares available and still carry out a general clean and service which includes quite alot at a price of £80 which includes postage back by special delivery.

If you require a repair or just advice please dont hesitate to contact me.I am based in Staffordshire in England, my web site is www.camnetco.com Regards, John Lowe

Hi Mickey Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. The lens I have is FD35-70mm lens. I just found a pamplet that goes with the lens that describe how to mount it but not how to dismantle it. From the photos, it looks to me like it is one whole unit, from the focusing ring to the aperture ring. I have taken some pictures with the T90 and they come out quite sharp (I set it on "A" mark). I also just bought a used 300TL flash to go with the T90 but have not used it yet. The focusing ring turns alright (bit stiff though) and does indicate infinity. I quess I leave it be unless somebody can advice on an easy fix. I hate looking at it though - looks unsightly, crooked.

ChanB, You do not state what lens you have. If the focussing ring moves smoothly and if your pictures are sharp I would suggest leaving it as it is. If the distance is of importance, such as with manual flash, you can check to determine the accuracy of the distances on the ring. Focus at infinity. Does the ring indicate infinity. Do the same with the closest focussing distance and other distances and measure to see if indicators are the same as measured distances. Mickey

Bittersweet. I just sold my Canon T90 and Speedlite flash for $350, and will use the money to go toward a DSLR (probably a Digital Rebel XT). I guess everyone's goin' digital...

I am an absolute newbie at photography and just started using the T90. I noticed that the focusing ring (the one with the infinity symbol) does not fit flush with the distance ring i.e., it is slighty bend. I think it probably got a knock before I got the camera. Can anyone tell me how to fix it and does it affect the photos I take if I leave it be? Thanks
