Fun, old fashioned vibes

Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2020

Building the camera was pretty easy as long as you follow the directions, took about 2 hours (with a break). Shooting is a little different, the SLR-style viewfinder isn't very clear but not a big deal for an inexpensive camera. I couldn't get the frame counter to work so I have to guess how far to advance the film. I guess I did a good job because I got 23 prints from a 24 exposure roll of film. I didn't expect the pictures to be great or even focused, and they turned out very nicely. The aperture is small, but wide enough to get good daytime outdoor shots.

Fun time, stay alert to details

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2018

Let me start by saying if you like DIY assemblies, this is a fun date night activity. I’d budget upwards of three hours in case you make a mistake or two (or three or four or five, like us). Keep an eye out for the type of screw you’re supposed to be using, if pieces need to be angled a certain way — it’s a simple camera but even simple cameras are complex machines. If you have big hands, grab a friend with small hands or get a pair of needle-tip tweezers cause you’ll need ‘em.

Cool camera, poor instruction guide.

Aesthetically it’s a nice camera and a really cool concept. I really enjoy models and building them, having said that it’s very clear the spent a chunk of money on the graphic design and not the actual instruction manual. You could easily build the konstructor in less than an hour but the guide is hard to follow. Haven’t taken photos with it yet, will report back.

Awesome!

Awesome camera. Easily assembled (will recommend having a pair of tweezers available for one of the springs). Any of the bad reviews that concern the "quality" of the camera should be ignored. This is a Lomo camera and it is supposed to be used for lomography, not professional photography. I'm not sure who ordered a $40 camera and thought they were going to get a Leica. Regardless, this was a fun activity and a great way to get back into film photography.

Well Konstructed Fun Project - great shooter

Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2015

This camera is well-made. I was expecting really cheapo plastic with horrible instructions like my TLR kit, but this one was professionally packaged, well documented, and well-manufactured. It took me about an hour to build it and decorate it. The ground glass is a little dark. It's like f/10 at 1/125 so set your focus once for 3-4 feet and then everything should be in focus from there to infinity.

Horrendous

Too complicated to put together for the layman, I broke one and ordered another. This one I managed to build. Put film in and tried to take a picture. There is no counter to let you know you're on a frame, so that was unworkable, and the viewfinder was impenetrable mist, not use there. I was pretty any because I'd been looking forward to shooting all the way through the difficult building phase. Don't buy this piece of sh..

Bought this for my boyfriend's Christmas present last year and it has been put into good use since then. Perfect gift for bonding with loved ones whilst building it, and for making photo memories with them.

Entertaining

Interesting idea, took 3 hour to put together but that was due to my lack of understanding the picture book of instructions, there were a few things like the spring that showed no detailed instruction as to where the other side went to, finally got it and a few others. Glad there was a spare spring, had 3 screws left over. I wish the instructions gave a quantity on the screws and spring. Film arrives tomorrow will update after the film is developed.

Kind of hard to construct, difficult to use. Cute exterior, though.

Pretty difficult to use. Took longer than 1-2 hours to put together. Instructions and labeling were not as clear as they could have been. We tried using film with it but the roll came out blank. I guess it is about trial and error and we will try again with more film, but this camera for a DIY should have been easier to use. The exterior looks cool though so if we cannot use as a camera, it'd be a cool display item.

Friend loved it

I got this as a birthday gift for my guy friend on his birthday. He was really excited when he opened the box up and went straight to putting it together. Now he says that he takes excellent picture with it and it works just like a real camera.

I will probably get another one for my other guy friends (and probably myself) in the future.
