I would try ebay. Check for sellers who sell serviced and reconditioned cameras. They will often have spares salvaged from cameras broken beyond repair.

Avoid cameras sold for spares or repair. This is often used as an excuse to sell junk, but not always.

A reputable seller who sells for spares sholud be able to tell you if a particular part is functional or not, and will refund if they turn out to be mistaken.

    not sure how your problem worked out but E bay would be your best choice for vintage Canon film camera items. However the T-70 command back are like hen's teeth -- yes that rare. If you can find a T-70 Command back in good operating condition with no BLEED on the edges, go for it. You may have to buy a used camera for parts however.

My flash unit seems to be functional, but won't work when taking pictures with the T70.

Is this a canon dedicated flash? Does it fire but you don't get a picture or is most of it blank? Try clean off the hot shoe contact and the dedicated contacts with an ink eraser. It may be that there is gunk/corrosion of the hot shoe contacts on the body. If it is not a dedicated flash you have to set the camera to the flash sync speed on manual. On the model it would be something like a 1/60th of a second. Is the flash hot shoe cracked?

Need the sleve that cover the battries

According to the pictures I see in the T70 manual, there is no sleeve required. It shows two AA batteries in the battery compartment, but no sleeve. Try just placing the batteries (properly oriented) into the well and closing the cover, and see if the camera powers on OK. You should be fine using it that way.

I NEED A CANON COMMAND BACK 70. WHERE CAN I BUY SUCH A CAMERA COVER FOR MY SLR CANON T70 35MM SLR CAMERA

Canon has not sold those for quite a while. Your best bet is to go to Ebay, Film cameras, film camera body acessories, type in Canon Command back 70 and wait until one shows up.
If you save the search, you get an email everytime one comes up. Good luck.

Ordered lens for Canon T70 camera

Hi there and welcome to FixYa.

Check on the box. Your camera has an FD mount. The lens you need to use also has to fit the Canon FD mount. If the lens you received is not an FD mount lens...send it back.

Thanks for coming to FixYa.

I recently bought a canon t70 on ebay. The seller mentioned that it was used, but failed to mention that the viewfinder was cracked. Can I possibly fix this or do I need to get my money back?

Hi there, and welcome to FixYa.

You should get your money back. Never buy something that you have to put money into to have it working properly. You should not attempt to repair this yourself. If you want to keep it, and pay even more money, take it to a shop.
