You have confirmed what the man in the camera shop said when I bought
my 350D, they didnt want to know
---------
Prices are quite low for FD lenses and unless you really need the money
and
never intend to use manual focus again then it is probably better to hang
on
to them. If you get no joy repairing the T90, old Canon FD fitting bodies
are also cheap these days. I haven't used my FD lenses for about 4 years
but one of these days I'll just have a nostalgia trip (it catches up with
those of us who are old and grey at some point). I still have a lot of
respect for my old lenses and know they are capable of good results even
though digital is much more convenient.
