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 communicate with the body's light meter to permit open-aperture metering. Unfortunately, Auto Fujinon lenses are sometimes found to have had their aperture coupling tab filed off. While unmodified lenses do fit many M42-mount camera bodies, some lens flanges (or lens adapters) are wide enough in diameter so that the aperture tab interferes with mounting the lens.
