The Fujica ST605 II was the last camera produced by Fuji that featured the M42 derived screw lens mount.
The ST605 II differed from the previous ST605n in a few key respects.
- It has an ST901 style shutter release lock, and
- an ST801/901 style lens lock (indicating an increased compatibility with Auto Fujinon lenses).
- It also has a lens mount flange connection for Auto Fujinon open aperture metering lenses, and despite being commonly supplied with a Fujinon 55mm f/2.2 lens, which required stop-down metering, it could open aperture meter with Auto-Fujinon lenses.
The ST605 II was possibly only released to the Asian market, making it an uncommon model elsewhere.
Notes
Fuji created a modification to the standard 42mm screw mount, adding a very small tab on the back of the aperture ring to engage with a lens mount housing lever, and thus communicate with the body's light meter and permit open-aperture metering. Fujinon lenses with this tab will not fit most other M42-mount camera bodies. For this reason, Auto Fujinon lenses are often found to have had this tab filed off.
