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.

Dear T90 friends,My first "real" camera was a Japanese "Aries" rangefinder, purchased in 1960 in Japan and used in USA for about 5 years. Then there was a pause of about 20 years, while I spent all my energy on family, work, home, and did not real photographing. Then in 1986, in England, I saw the T90 and read the reviews on it. It became my dream, but I didn't want to afford it. Around 1990 I decided to see if I'd really want to take the time for real photography again and purchased a used FT(?) and then a used A1. After realising I did like real photography, in 1996 finally bought a used T90. later I even purchased an F1N, but after a few years resold it. The T90 body isn't quite as robust as the F1, but it has more nifty features and in European winters (Germany now) that cold, sharp metal on the cheek was less comfortable than the rounded warm plastic of the T90. I had the T90 checked out and adjusted by Canon about 5 years ago, and assume I'll remain happy with this one camera until I die.

In the meantime, I also have a nice collection of FD lenses, which are wonderful. Sure, some are pretty heavy, but they have big apertures and make great photos. I finally sold the 300mm 3.5 L, which was a great lens, for lack of enough appropriate subjects to photograph and due to the weight - including a heavy wooden tripod (though it made a great "macro" for taking flowers from a distance!). The 24mm 1.4 Aspherical has been my favourite for "normal" pictures in built up areas (villages, cities) for years. I recently bought a 55mm 1.2 Aspherical, but haven't really tried it out yet (here we have to wait until about May before the light's nice). However, it is lots heavier than the 50mm 1.4, so it better bring noticeably better results, or it will be resold as too tiring to carry around all day! My latest thought is to buy a another used T90 body, in order to avoid having to change lenses so often. Though that, of course, brings yet more weight. A problem when walking around all day with the cameras and lenses. Anyway, thanks for letting me express my feelings on this wonderful hobby, in general, and this wonderful camera, in particular. Hope someone out there even enjoyed reading it!

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

A caveat about my previous post: those figures were made by Hasselblad, therefore are valid for 70mm films, which are not always identical to their 35mm counterparts, especially the support layer.

Richard: it really looks like the T-MAX film could fool the meter, see here, for example: http://lists.tako.de/html/Olympus-OM/1999-10/msg00708.html.
You could try to use the FEL mode, it will meter against the curtain therefore film will be not an issue, and make a comparison with A-TTL.

Richard Squires, You say you loaded your film from bulk. What cassettes did you use? Were they DX coded and if so, for what film speed. If they weren't DX coded did you set the correct film speed? If the last film used before you loaded your bulk film was DX coded, that speed will be used unless you change it. The film's latitude could account for the correct outdoor exposures. Flash exposures don't allow for a great deal of error. There is also the possibility of reciprocity failure at the very short exposures of electronic flash. I don't know if it lessens as a film ages. Mickey

a few people have mentioned the lens mount is loose on their T90. it us a pretty easy fix if you have a little mechanical ability and a very small phillips screw driver.

Richard Squires - My flash exposure theory is really not up the question, especially when it comes to the 300TL, but IF it were possible that film reflectivity could affect exposure, my guess is that it would only be true when spot metering, as that is the only sensor that reads from the film plane. For CW and Partial the sensor is up in the prism. Ken

Hello everyone. I hope someone can advise me. I've just exposed my first roll of film using a T90/300TL for indoor flash photography. I used the "P" setting on the flash and Program mode on the T90 for every picture, so all were exposed using TTL/OTF. Every picture is underexposed. The film was very old TMax 100 out of a bulk film loader. I had to set ISO/ASA to 100 manually on the T90. One or two daylight shots taken with this old film were exposed very accurately. Is it possible that the reflectivity of this film is high, leading to underexposure? Many thanks in anticipation. Cheers, Richard.
