The '''Topcon RE 300''' is a manual focus 35mm [[SLR]] from [[Tōkyō Kōgaku]]. It accepts [[Exakta lenses|Exakta]] type lenses. It is an almost identical twin of the [[Topcon RE 200]] but has electrical motor winder contacts on the base, and a different focusing screen. [[Exakta]] also had a model released as the '''Exakta EDX 3'''.

It has a metal focal-plane shutter with speeds from 1s to 1/1000 with B. Flash sync is at 1/125 a sec. The [[self-timer]] delay is adjustable from 4 to 12 sec. It features an full aperture [[TTL]] match [[LED]] based, center weighted metering system using two [[CdS]] cell. There are three LED's in the finder. The top LED is over exposure, the bottom one is for under exposure and they emit a red color. The correct exposure lamp is in the middle and emits a green color. The meter has a range of 3.5 to 18 [[EV]] at (ASA 100), settable to film speeds from 25 to 1600 ASA. Focus is aided by a split-image rangefinder spot surrounded by a micro-prism collar. It uses two 1.5 volt silver oxide batteries. The film transport is manual operated by a film advance lever and a rewind crank. A '''Auto Winder-II''' motor drive accessory is also available.
