Berndt, I guess that we don't really know what's going on inside the T70. It's designed for FD lenses and using anything else is a bit of a fudge. At least your 58mm lens seems to work OK with your "system". What your question did do is prompt me to get out my other later Canon's. Both my A1 and F1N have the capability of doing real stop down metering rather than the electronic fudge of the T70. I too suffer from that curse of the camera collector; too many cameras and not enough time and opportunity to use them. I have been toying with the idea of getting some monochrome film and shooting short lengths and processing them myself. I have the equipment to do so from the days when I did such things but whether I will is .... well ..... you know

The T90 is capable of stop down metering.... Hans P.S. today, most of my FL lenses are used on a NEX3...

Not only there I started using ( and collecting ) them on my GH1. Fantastic lenses and I personally like them more than the later FD ones, which are often a little bit "soft", I think. My FL 85 mm for example is still my standard portrait lens on my GH1. On a MFT camera, those are 170 mm at brilliant sharp F:1.8. I love this lens so much, that I paid app. $100 for a professional restoration at Canon, when it was broken. Now, it's like new again. One of my treasures Always a good feeling, loading a real piece of film into a camera I shot only digital for many years, but I always missed something on my pictures, even being sharp, clear, colorful and well exposed. Now, I treat myself to the luxury of using film again ... and I enjoy it Especially medium format is something, I can't afford on digital anyway. Film is beautiful ... still ... and do you know why ? Because our eyes and brain are analog too.

Oh ... and I forgot to say, that I messed up my test film today I had the fantastic chance to shoot some test pictures with the Canon T70 and a Canon FL 135 mm F:2.5 lens, because there was "Yabusame" in town. Yabusame is the traditional japanese horse archery and does always look quite impressive. My FL 135 mm is the perfect lens for that and the fastest telephoto, I have. I used it in the recommended "stop down mode", because I wanted to use it just full open anyway ( because I needed the fastest shutter speeds possible for those pretty speedy horse riders ). I think, I got awesome shots ... and then, I messed everything up during the film rewind I forgot to read the manual about it, but I found some button and lever on the bottom of the camera. I tried to do something with it and yeah ... the film rewinded ... but ... the "rewind sound" hasn't been really long, which should have made me become suspicious ... but it didn't. I opened the camera for removing the film ... and it hasn't been rewinded at all I tried the procedure again and the film rewinded again ( obviously just another little bit ) and some "peep peep peep" sound detected an error. Stupid ( and probably a little bit angry and impatient ), I opened the camera again ... and certainly destroyed a few more frames until the guy in the camera shop gave me a dark bag to re-spool and remove the film manually and safely ... or better, the rest of it I should stay away from these "modern" cameras
