Another feature of the Konstruktor is its interchangeable lens system. That being said, get super close to your subject! Swap the default 50mm lens with the DIY Close-Up & Macro Lenses for close-up and macro shots.

    @stratski so sorry about that! Fixed the error now. I'll update the article to put the same note from the original tipster article I based it on. Thanks and, again, my apologies!
