The Casio RF-3 is a 35mm film interchangeable lens SLR camera from Casio. It was sold with the well-made standard lens Casio Lens System 50mm 1:2, made in Japan, or with a 2×zoom lens Casio 35-70mm. Other than its predecessor Casio RF-2 it had no mechanical self-timer but an electronic one with red control light. It's possible that it was made by Cosina since that Japanese camera maker offered similar camera bodies with similar standard lens. The Casio bodies are probably made in Japan since they bear a JCII qualitiy control seal.
