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.

Has anyone else ever noticed the first line of this page is incorrect where it says the T90 was the last FD mount camera before Canon went AF???? the T90 was marketed in Feb of 1986 the T60 (granted not made by Canon but FD mount and it says Canon on it)was marketed in april 1990!! Trouble with collectors is they become obsessed with the little details LOL

Ken, thanks for your reply. Your're right, the features on this camera are great, though it is not build like the F-1. I think I would have to try it out myself. Cheers. Michael

Mike Wolf - The outer body shell of the T-90 appears to be made of a few different materials, but none of them are metal. Some kind of polycarbonate or some parts are plastic. It's not a camera to bang around if that's what you're into! Buy an F-1 for that. However, I do seem to recall reading the the Tank has a metal (magnesium alloy? ) chassis. I've only had it far enough apart to tighten the lens mount, and there was a good deal of polished metal in there. I took a fall a year ago with one of my T-90s, scrambling around on a steep hillside. The camera hit a rock, and the battery tray was cracked. No other damage. The handling,(best I've ever felt) metering, versatility, and many other features all outweigh what slight misgivings I might have about its durability - I do shoot in the field a lot - and I own two of these marvels.

Hello, I have one question about the T90. Does it have a metal body or is it plastic? I'm very interested in the metering-system of this camera, but also like a classic metal body and I found no word about this question on any site. Thanks a lot Michael

Tom, I've just discovered that my T90 has the same symptom, albeit to a lesser degree. My new 200mm lens won't quite make it to a clean focus when aimed at anything over ~1/4 mile away. My 135mm also displayed the problem, although to a lesser degree. Both lenses focus perfectly on my AE-1, so I'm assuming that the problem is with the T90. I've checked for any mechanical issues such as dirt getting trapped between the focusing screen and the chassis, loose lensmount (hard to miss!), etc. My search found nothing, so "it must be out of adjustment!" For better or worse, I decided to adjust the mirror stop eccentric screw. Rotating the cam to move the mirror 'up' towards the focusing screen allows both lenses to just reach infinite focus (as seen on the focusing screeen.)

The next question is "is the camera REALLY at proper focus when the viewfinder says it is?" Tomorow I'm going to shoot pictures of a yardstick that is placed at an angle (~60 degrees) to the lens axis. If I focus very precicely on the center point of the ruler, then scan the negative to determine where "true" focus is happening, I can then tweak the mirror stop to compensate. Another method that should work is to open the camera and place a piece of frosted glass or even scotch tape at the focal plane. (Be damn sure not to get anything stuck in the shutter when it closes! - CRUNCH!) Fire off a 30 sec exposure with the lens wide open, and use a loupe to verify that the projected image reaches sharpest focus at the same time as the viewfinder image. Alternately, take the camera to a shop that has the proper equipment to do the adjustment "right." FWIW. -Greg

By far, the most popular trading place is still at Ebay. In relation to the Photonet, it has quite a good following and active trading as well. Well, to be honest, I had a few sales done (digital camera, a Sunpak flash and few Sigma lenses) which I managed to trade at the forum section in this malaysia site at: http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/ftz/index.php3 Except the Ebay, the remaining two would really need some guts to trade with confidence, but my previous trades were quite smooth.

Dan - Someone here may turn out to be interested, but the most common market by far is eBay. There is also a for sale/wanted section that is quite active at www.photo.net Ken

Maurice, You migh ask your local optician. I took a chance and tried that approach and it only cost me ten dollars. Far cheaper than a new eyepiece. That was several years ago. Things might have changed. Mickey
