Canon T90: How we get through time

[Andreas Thaler]

After extensive study of hybrid magnets, sticky shutters, EEE and HELP, eleven T90s, all of which are fit for work, go into their maintenance program.

Once a month there is a battery pack and a test film in turn to check film transport, automatic rewind and displays.

In HIGH mode, a film with 36 exposures is pulled through by one motor and rewound by another. The third motor in the T90 takes care of the mirror and shutter.

This is particularly good for the magnets and should prevent problems with them.

Since all T90s rewind the film completely into the cartridge, the film retractor comes into action and brings out the tip of the film again.

By modifying the circuit, the T90 can also be set up so that the film is not spooled all the way into the cartridge and the tip shows out. Practical for film development and a matter of faith

So the twelve of us hope that we can get through time well together

You're in good company, I see.

By modifying the circuit, the T90 can also be set up so that the film is not spooled all the way into the cartridge and the tip shows out.

I keep forgetting about that modification, but I've read about it, yes. So far, I haven't been bothered sufficiently by the lack of this custom function on the T90 to actually hack mine.
Inspired by your threads, I did take mine out of storage today and exercised the shutter a couple of times. I haven't used it for a while and it seemed like a good idea to give it a spin. Really, I should run some film through it one of these days. With winter approaching, I see myself shooting some HP5+ again.

Excellent!

Thanks, that saves me some time looking it up

Quite the fleet. Goodness.

I just need to get one of these bad boys!

The T-90 is a great camera.
