The Konstruktor F by Lomography is a vintage-inspired camera with a few modern twists. This design is DIY, so people are actually responsible for putting the production together.
The camera also has the ability to interchange lenses, which is not common with Lomography cameras. As such this design is similar to an SLR camera from a company like Sony or Nikon, but also has the features of an old-school device. According to DesignBoom, the camera "also features a hot-shoe adaptor for use with any hot shoe flash, PC to fritz the blitz flash adaptor cable and a diy flash bracket."
Overall this is a great Lomography camera with a few details to help give it a modern touch.
