Lomography Konstruktor F Reviews

Don't expect it to actually work

By Eric
Rated 3 out of 5
Date: 2026-04-27

It's actually a fun little project. It's pretty easy to assemble, the only problem I came across was attaching the spring for the shutter release. Mine came with 3 springs. One is for the camera. The other 2 are for people like me who destroy them while trying to get one to attach to the camera. The whole process took me just over 2 hours including the hour trying to attach the spring. After assembling, my camera does not work. The film advanced is hit or miss. It moves the film a few centimeters and then stops. The shutter also has this weird delay - might be related to the spring issue. Basically a fun project, don't expect it to actually work.

While it may not be the highest quality camera, it is super fun to give or receive as a gift for any film photographer lovers out there. Who doesn't want to build their own camera? I enjoyed the process of making it a lot and learned more in-depth about the basic of how a film camera operates.

Lens compatibility?Any idea if Lomography designed this to specifically work with their lenses, or if it's possible to use a f-mount or k-mount lens perhaps?
