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.

Sirs I would agree that if used regularly the T90 seems not to need service but Mine did fail and I sent it to WWW.CanonT90.com Awesome job was done by this outfit.Fast and very clean.Two thumbs up and I'm glad someone is repairing these incredible cameras still.They also did my Canon F1n too!! I dont normally write when things go well only when things go bad but I had noticed some other comments on this site and thought I would add my positive experience of this repair outfit too!!

Norm: a downloadable manual can be found at www.canonfd.com. "reasonably priced accessories": what do you mean for "reasonably"? IMHO using "cheap" lenses on a high-end camera will only mean you will get poor or so-so quality images, and waste a lot of the T90 potential. The same for flash units. The T90 has very advanced TTL flash capabilities - get a "cheap" unit and you will lose them.

TomR: I think the T90 uses DX informations when available to rewind the film, and uses anyway increased resistance when no DX info are available or when the film can't be advanced anyway. The main problem of a dead internal battery I believe it is the lost of ISO setting, it will revert to 100 each time the camera is turned off.

IMHO some camera maintenance is useful. Lube will dry, and dust will accumulate, causing more friction and therefore wear. Having the camera cleaned and lubricated by an expert technician will help it to last longer. The interval among them depends on how much and where the camera is used.
Of course, some components may fail anyway, and a bad maintenance may be worse than nothing at all.

The preventative repair of the T90 is unnecessary. If you are using the Camera a lot, the shutter will work all right. I have had two T90's since 1986 and they work allright. The problem is when you don't use it. Then the shutter will soon malfunction, so the camera must be used frequently.

Jesse: forget about taking good photos of fast moving subjects by taking only one - even if you use a camera with fixed semi-transparent mirrors (Canon made some). The way to go is to "waste" some film taking several pictures in a row. With its 4.5 fps motor, the T90 is well suited for the job.

Jesse no camera has an instantanious shutter release. The T90 does have a lag but your reaction time will be WAY longer then any millisecond lag in the T90's shutter. I seriously doubt you will find any 35mm film camera much faster unless you start looking at somethng like a Leica Rangefinder. And they would only have a 1/60th flash sync speed.

I'm trying to find some actual numbers for you. But I can tell you the T90 is the most advanced Manual focus camera made and shares many design details with the most modern Canon AF cameras.

i have a question about the timing of the shutter of the t90. i wanted to get one for skateboarding photos when i found out it's flsh sync was 1/250. But when i read the post about the shots not being on time, i started to reconsider. so my question is: When i push the shutter button, is that exactly when the shutter will open?

Gary & George, I just took a quick look and found this. If you're ambitious, and confident, good luck. I've never had to try this myself, so I won't offer any comment on how difficult, or how safe, this is.

Here's how to change the internal battery: You'll need a small phillips screwdriver, I'm using #00. A pair of tweezers could come out handy, and a soldering iron, 25W or so. Also a large, clean working space. It's good idea to put all screws and parts in a row to make shure you put the right things on the right place. Taking notes is a good idea.

First take off the front plate. Three screws over and under the lens mount. Then loosen the screws on the little plate that holds the mechanism for opening the back on the left side of the camera. You don't have to take them completely off, just a few rounds. Wiggle the plate loose, and take off the front plate. This is where you tighten the lens mount if its loose. Then take off the top. Two screws on the front, one on the back, and one under the strap lug on the right side. Then pry out the rubber plug on the finder shutter lever with a needle. You can glue it back again using rubber cement. There's another screw under the plug.

Thn carefully lift the top off. There's a bunch of wires going to the hot shoe that you don't want to tear off. The battery is located on the right side of the prism. Ether fastened with a clip, or soldered to the circuit board. Be carefull with the flex boards, they tear off easily. I think the right size battey is CR1620, a 3v lithium cell. The original part with soldering tabs could be hard to get. I bet the battery is equal the the ones used in the current EOS cameras, so you can probably order one at Canon. While you're there, you can modidy the camera to leave the leader out on rewind. This is done by shorting two soldering pads on the left hand side of the prism, near the front. You can see the pads on one of the lower flex boards. Reassemble the camera again, and make shure that you don't mix up the screws or forgetting any parts. regards, Ketil"
