The Fujica ST605 II, known as the "Mark II", was the last camera produced by Fuji to use the M42 derived screw lens mount.
Introduced in July 1978, it appears to have been sold only to the Asian market, and was probably produced until about 1980.
Functionally, the ST605 II is a cross between the ST605n and the ST705w. The shutter, with its 1/700th sec., top speed, came from the ST605n. The open aperture metering system, lens mount lock, and shutter release lock came from the ST705w. However, the ST605 II did not have the auto winder connectivity found in the ST705w.
The camera was supplied with a Fujinon 55mm f/2.2 lens, made specifically for the 605 series cameras.
Note
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. Unmodified lenses do fit many M42-mount camera bodies, but some lens mount flanges (or lens adapters) are wide enough in diameter cause the aperture tab to prevent flush seating of the lens, which stops infinity focus from being achieved.
