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.

A theory is that FD stands for Full Diaphragm; meaning that it was the first Canon lens series to meter wide open. Previous lenses (FL) had to be stopped down to meter. Not sure if this theory is true, but it sounds reasonable.2. From : Mickey Oberman (mickeyobe@internet.look.ca)

John, The FD lenses are the only ones you should use. Although your camera may take earlier Canon lens they will not have all the automated features of the FD. I have been unable to find out what the letters "FD" stand for. There are two kinds of FD lenses, either of which is acceptable. The earlier one has a "breechlock. The lens is placed on the camera by aligning the red dots on the camera body and on the lens' chrome ring. The ring is then rotated clockwise to firmly secure the lens. It is rotated counter clockwise to remove the lens. This design ensures that there is virtually no wear to either the lens or the camera.
The latest FD lens has no breechlock. The red dots are aligned as before and the entire lens is rotated. Although I have seven different FD lenses, all of mine are of the breechlock design so I do not know how the newer style performs. I understand that it may be slightly faster to mount and remove. There is now a huge selection of very good new and used FD lenses available at quite reasonable prices as the FD cameras and lenses were discontinued more than ten years ago.3.

Could some one please tell me what FD means as i'm looking for a new lens for my old Canon AE1 Program but I have no idea whether a lens with an FD fit will go. I hope that make sense, sorry for being dim. JB4. From : Ken D (kdurling@earthlink.net)

Another type of background blur is motion blur produced by panning. Here the shutter speed is relatively slow, and the camera is panned to keep the moving subject in focus, and the stationary background gets blurred for a feeling of motion. Any aperture will work, but a little extra DOF can help keep the subject in focus range, so the smaller aperture/slower shutter speed work together. Takes practice, but is a classic effect.Ken5.

Ashiq, To blur your backgrounds set your camera on AV and your lens to its widest aperture. The longer the focal length you use, the greater the blur. The closer you come to your subject the greater the blur. You can preview the effect by using your stop down lever. Mickey6. From : ashiq (ashiq999@rediffmail.com)

I would greatly appreciate it to know where I might get the Canon TTL-300 flash repaired. I have two that are not working. Also, is there a flash that might replace the TTL-300 on the T-90 camera. Thank you for any consideration. Mike Roberts8. From : Alan Swartz (aswartz@earthlink.net)

Ken, there are several printed circuit boards in there. I bought a 300TL for parts that wouldn't power up. The PCB was cracked alongside the power switch. In that case, it was possible to solder a jumper wire across the break. Perhaps yours met a similar fate, but there's no telling what might have broken in a hard fall. The thing is packed with components.9. From : Ken D (kdurling@earthlink.net)

My 300TL took a spill, due to an insufficient tightening of the shoe. It no longer powers up. What do you think may have been damaged? Do you think it can be repaired for less than the cost of a new one? Ken10.

John/Tom You can use the two maual modes (HI and LO). In manual mode it should be possible to use any shutter speed belowe 1/250 sec. You'll have two aperture options. From a table labeled on the flash I can read out corresponding apertures and distances directly. The table cowers the focal lengths 24 - 85mm and ISO 100 and 400. In LO-mode I think the distances shall be divided by 4. Jomar Haktorson.
