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.

Ken. I also received a reply of 76 ms. What started me off on this subject was an article describing some of the latest digital cameras that lauded one of them with a "very short delay of only 1/100 of a second". These extremely long delays are what render digital cameras vitually useless for wildlife and sports photography and, indeed, any photography involving action. Taking a shot at "peak action" is impossible. I would guess that, due to their many deficiencies, 99.9% of digitals, despite all their fancy gimmics, are little more than point and shoot cameras. I have a digital but more and more I find myself using my faithful T90. Mickey

Mickey - I asked your question on another group, and now someone else is reporting a variable lag of 190-250ms on their T-90. I don't think I experience anything like that, but now the whole question has me curious. Ken

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

Ken D Thanks for the info on the polarizing filter, seems like circular is the only way to go. Thanks again Gerald

Rachel - I hate to say it, but it sounds like your T-90 may be suffering from THE most common T-90 malady, which is a failed or stuck shutter magnet. Are you getting any error messages in the viewfinder? There are some very good people to send your camera to for servicing, but that depends in part on where you are, or where you're willing to send it. It's not a DIY fix. Perhaps someone local can at least check it out for you. Ken

Gerald - As I understand it, it's really only in spot-metering mode that a linear polarizer can throw of the metering, due to the fact that the T-90 has two metering sensors, the spot-metering sensor's placement being behind the mirror reading directly off the film plane. The polarized light passing through the mirror apparently causes an inaccurate meter reading. The sensor for the other two metering modes is located in the pentaprism and is therefore unaffected by the polarization. This can also be a problem with autofocus cameras, since their focusing sensor is similarly located. In any case, the safe bet is to always use a circular polarizer.Ken

....while reading the online T90 manual, I see where someone has posted "Do not use a linear polorizing filter". Can someone explain to me why one cannot use these type of filters, and what happens if you do. Thanks!
