The Topcon RE 300 is a manual focus 35mm SLR from Tōkyō Kōgaku. It accepts Topcon RE lenses based on the Exakta mount. This model is a modest revision of the Topcon RE 200, accepting an Auto Winder-II motor drive accessory. It was released in both black and chrome bodies. Ihagee West also marketed this as the Exakta EDX 3.
It has a metal focal-plane shutter with speeds from 1s to 1/1000 and B. Flash sync is at 1/125 sec. The self-timer delay is adjustable from 4 to 12 sec. It features a full aperture TTL, match LED, center-weighted metering system using two CdS cell. There are three LED's in the finder. The top LED indicates 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 uses a manual film advance lever and rewind crank.
