The Konstruktor Transparent Collector’s Edition is a version of the Konstruktor. This edition was presented by Lomography in November 2013.
Like the normal version, it is an SLR. However, the Konstruktor Transparent has a transparent body instead of a black one, hence the name. For this reason, taking pictures with it makes little sense. It is therefore only suitable as a collector’s and decorative object or to take a closer look at the inside of a camera.
