Canon T90
And yet one more camera. Bringing my modest collection to 15. Including 4 Polaroids, 4 Canon SLR's, 1 TLR, and 6 simple box cameras. This one is a Canon T90 and was the last true FD mount Canon. Some will claim that the T60 was in fact last coming out some 5 years later and 2 years after the EOS system was introduced. But in reality it was only a Canon design and lens mount, the internals were all outscrouced. Anyway, that was enough of a tangent especially considering this is being posted from my iPhone. The T90 was introduced in 1986 when my grandfather purchased it new. It unfortunatly saw a rather quick life span due to major autofocusing upgrades in the camera world. Which was too bad, as many Japanese journalists dubbed it "The Tank". My grandfather gave this to me over Easter weekend. And included the 300tl flash that was designed to go with it. Which incidentally was the first Canon flash to use E-TTL metering. As well as a 50mm macro lens and 1:1 converter. Plus a 35-105 zoom. Overall it is a very nice package and a great modern addition to my AE-1 Program.
