The Revueflex 3003 is one of a series of SLRs made by Chinon but distinctively restyled for private-label sale. Foto-Quelle offered this model (and its silver counterpart the Revueflex 2002); or, for autoexposure, the Reviewflex 4004 and 50005.

The 2002/3003 use stop down metering activated by a halfway press on the shutter release. These models derive from the Chinon CX II (the earlier CX's meter switch is a slider beside the lens mount).

The camera uses the PX625 battery to operate the lightmeter. Its main features are:

  • shutter speeds from B to 1/1000
  • double-exposure button
  • accepts 42mm screw lenses
  • self-timer
  • takes film from 10 to 1600 ASA

The German photo-retailer Foto-Quelle sold a complete line of accessories for these cameras. Rebadged Chinon models with this same restyling were sold in the US as the Argus CR-1 and CR-2.
