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.

My T90 recently suffered the dreaded shutter lock/EEE problem. After being told by Canon and other local independent repairers that it couldn't be repaired, I contacted John Lowe (lowej7@sky.com) in the UK. John was very helpful, the turn-a-round was quick and the service excellent. I would certainly recommend John to anyone who wants work done on a T90.

Having been Canon trained on the T90 in the early 1990s in London and having repaired hundreds of these wonderful cameras I would consider myself to be well up on all faults on problems. Whether its EEE or a dead camera or wont fire, all faults can be sorted. If you need repair,service or spares or just a question for me please email me without delay. I am based in staffordshire England
Thank you

Syd,
"Unfortunately, I don’t understand your final sentence. If the neckstrap rings fail and your T90 is lying in pieces at your feet, what other aspects of taking a photograph with it are there to be concerned about ?"
Nothing other than finding a bag in which to put the pieces for burial.

Mickey,
Thank you for that very useful practical information. Coincidentally, I too have a Vivitar Series 1 - 70 to 210 mm zoom. That is one of the lenses I was worried about.

Sid,
If you will take the time to browse through the many entries on this site you will find that there are numerous problems posted but the failure of the strap lugs is extremely rare.
I purchased my T90 in 1985 and have used it with a number of lenses including the original Vivitar Series 1 - 70 to 210 mm zoom. That is a fairly long, heavy lens. It is 6-1/8" long and weighs almost 2 lbs. I have also used it with the Canon 300TL flash mounted on the camera along with the Vivitar lens.
Everything including the original strap is still intact.
I am not saying that a failure wont happen but there are more things to be concerned about when taking a picture than the possible failure of the components of the remarkably sturdy and well constructed and designed T90.

Hi Keith,
I'm sorry you haven't heard of any such tests or know of any appropriate data, but thanks for replying
It is worth remembering that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. In other words, it doesn't matter how strong the neckstrap is, or how strong the neckstrap rings are,if the neckstrap rings are only held onto the body by a couple of tiny screws, that is where the failure will occur if heavy lenses are attached to a camera when it is slung around your neck.
Canon should know the answer to this but whether they have ever published the information is another matter. Assuming they have not,I cannot understand their attitude, because it is obviously very important feature of design.
Cheers,

Hi Keith,
Many thanks for details of your experience. However, it is not the strap that worries me, nor even the neckstrap rings (I can calculate the stress on them). However, without taking the camera apart,which I am very reluctant to do, I cannot see how the rings are connected to the body. Therefore I cannot make a judgement on how the attachments (screws/rivets ?) will be affected by a 2 Kg load.
Do you know if Canon, or indeed anyone else, have published the results of tests ?
Cheers,
Syd.10.

Hi Syd, I appreciate your concerns about your concerns about what weight the neckstraps can take, but I would not worry about it. Personally, I would be quite happy to take my beloved T90, (owned from new), out with my 300TL flash and a lens double the length of 35-105. I think you might need to consider the strength of the strap. Just make sure you get a reputable one.
Hope this helps,
Keith Magill
