LEARN THE MECHANICS
In the digital world in which we take the complexity behind inventions for granted, there is
something deceptively simple about an analogue camera. But how exactly does a film camera
work? How are you capable of capturing an image on a film roll by simply clicking a button?
What are the inner workings which make this possible?
The Konstruktor allows you to demystify the process of analogue photography by building your
camera from the ground up. In constructing it, you’ll begin to understand the intricate mechanics
behind the analogue photos you shoot and have a ton of fun in the process. Building the
Konstruktor is very easy; it can usually be completed in 1-2 hours and, by the end, you’ll have a
fully working SLR camera in your hands!
A NEW CREATIVE TOOLBOX
The Konstruktor is a bundle of tricks indeed. Once you have finished building your camera,
you’ll be in possession of an awesomely simple yet tremendously clever photographic
contraption. Firstly, the Konstruktor is equipped with ‘N’ and ‘B’ mode for regular and long
exposures; of course, it has a tripod thread for keeping those long exposures steady. It is also
equipped with an uncoupled shutter release and advance, so you can easily produce multiple
exposure photos.
SEE WHAT YOU SHOOT
The Konstruktor is Lomography’s very first SLR camera. SLR stands for ‘Single Lens Reflex’; with
this type of camera, it’s possible to focus and view exactly what you shoot. All you have to do is
look through the top-down viewfinder and focus using the ring on the lens. The viewfinder also
has a handy magnifier so you can get a better view of what you’re shooting.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR CREATION
Once you’ve finished building the Konstruktor, it’s time to decorate! The camera comes packed
with a selection of stickers that you can attach. Bored of your current camera look? Just peel off
the stickers and try a different set. Of course, in true Lomographic spirit you can also decide to
forget the rules and decorate your Konstrucktor in a totally unique style.
As of 12/12/2014, we are shipping the Konstruktor Camera kit version with a PC socket for
flash photography.
