Canon T90 in Use

After everything I've been saying about not investing in another camera system, I guessed it wouldn't be long before I did.

I was given a bag of old cameras back in March; inside the bag were a few gems (and a few dogs) including a rather scruffy Canon AE-1. Now I have always avoided the FD mount system and the dreaded `Canon Cough' that goes with these cameras, so I was surprised that it didn't suffer with said cough and even the match needle for the light meter worked. Sadly it had no lenses so I bought a couple of cheap lenses to test it out. After I'd used it a bit, I quite liked the camera, so inevitably I bought a couple more. The scruffy looking AE-1 was now letting the side down, so after a bit of research and some time on eBay, I got myself a mint T90. I have to say that this is the most feature-packed manual focus SLR that there is. It has some functions that Canon would do well to re-introduce.

Enough waffle; the home developed B&W film pics:

Some Recent Portraits

These were shot at the beginning of the month at a Bristol & South West Modelling Photography event (BSWMP). Sadly, real life has been hectic and the blogging has been on hold.

More Classic Cars

I just love shooting these classics. I usually use a wide angle lens in close for perspective distortion, along with a short telephoto lens for abstract macro shots.

On this occasion, I used a 24mm Ensinor lens along with a Tamron SP Adaptall-2 90mm Macro lens.
