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.

Hello everybody ! I know this is a common and frequently asked question, but as far as t90's are still around the place, the need also care ! I 've got the EEE message, I've been through all procedures seen on that board, but I'm quite sure that my camera needs repair. Apparently, the guys from www.mcvr.com (Moragantown camera and video repair) no longer answer their emails or simply stopped their activity...?? Emails are returned by a postmaster program saying "access denied" If anyone has informations about them OR knows another place where these good old shutters can be fixed !! Thanks in advance for any information, Regards F.2. From : Ken D (kdurling@comcast.net)

Well, those speeding bullet shots aren't done with a shutter release anyway. They're done in a dark room with a shutter on bulb, and the bullet triggers an extremely short flash. Ken3. From : David Murphy (dmurphy@krix.com.au)

Hi Alan, I hadn't realised that the time delay would make remote triggered photography virtually impossible, but there it is -:). For example, I think that photographing a speeding bullet may have to be done some other way, given how far it would tarvel in 1/4 second. I s'pose that other modern cameras would have the same problem - you might have to go back to a no metering /mechanical shutter camera to get results. Which rather defeats the purpose of the T90's sophisticated exposure metering systems Thanks for your comment regard David4. From : Alan Swartz (aswartz@earthlink.net)

David, I remember seeing that article. To elaborate a bit, 215 ms is almost one-quarter of a second, and in action photography, that can be a long time. It is always a good idea to keep a finger on the metering switch under those circumstances. That 1/4-second delay is a real issue when using the LC-2 remote release. I have not found a way around it. It is a huge factor when using the beam-breaking trigger on the LC-2.5. From : David Murphy (dmurphy@krix.com.au)

Hi all, I must say I have enjoyed discovering this web site and the T90 discussion group. My input is the topic of camera time delays. I bought a T70 in the early 80's, and wondered why the shots of my (then young) children didn't seems as good as those through my Canon RM. Then I bought a second hand low mileage T90 in the mid 90's, and also had problems capturing the exact moment. I put it down to advancing years... Howevr, finding this marvellous web site and the links has rekindled my enthusiasm in photography. I remembered reading an article by Norman Goldberg in Popular Photography October 1986, and found it in my collection. He devised a setup to measure the time lag from press of shutter button to the pulse of light through the camera box.
His results are thus:-
Canon AE-1 86ms (86/1000 seconds)
Canon AE-1 Prgrm 185ms
Canon T80 230ms
Canon T90 86,180,215ms **
Canon T70 100ms
He comments that the T90 is a 'jumper', the time lag depends on whether the shutter button is partially depressed, activating the exposure metering circuitry. From cold, ie literally graband shoot, the time lag is 215ms. Interesting stuff,eh? many thanks for your interesting web site, and the discussion group regards David6. From : Luigi D.

Sam, IIRC there were (and probably are) ringlights from Sunpak that use an interchangeable shoe and work in TTL mode with the T-90 too. The ML-3 works with the T-90, but requires an adapter ring to be mounted on FD lenses.7. From : Sam Morris (sammorris@cameraassitant.freeserve.co.uk)

Anyone out there had any luck with using a non-Canon ring flash with the T90? Other than the Canon manual focus flash units (and the EOS ML3 I'm told is compatible with the T90) what other units have people sucessfully used? Thanks in advance of your help Sam8.

George - Good to know the suitable Omnibounce for the 300TL is still available new after all the years. Currently I make my first experiences with an Omnibounce for my handle-mount flashgun Metz Mecablitz 50 MZ-5. An almost equal result is achieved by taping a plastic diffusor sheet in front of the reflector. The plastic diffusor sheets in size of 0,6 x 0,6m are sold in photo accessory stores to build an own diffusor or light tent and are ceap and can easily be cut in whatever size you need.9.

I need a help,When I press the shutter button neither the shutter release nor film advance motors go round. The triangle symbol next to the 'S' (single shot) in the display blinks. The camera was working fine. I am using a fresh set of AA batteries and the internal battery seems OK. Thank you in advance Luis F.

Battery Warning. I've been using cameras which use alkaline batteries for over twenty-five years, and like most people, other devices which use alkaline batteries since God was a little boy. I've never had a problem with battery leakage with any device, so I've pretty much ignored the recommendation to remove the batteries when the camera, or other device, is not in use. Well it finally happened. I realized this afternoon that one of my T-90's hadn't fired (they're both on a Command Back 24 hour shutter release setting). Low and behold, the camera was dead. When I pulled the battery pack, you guessed it, one of the batteries was leaking.
No damage. I got lucky. Just a warning to all, to check their batteries regularly. TomR.
