Kodak Portrait Lens 305mm (12in.) f/4.8, questions

[UNITER]

Your lens was made in 1956. The secret Kodak date code word is "camerosity".
I'm not sure, but I think the front ring also holds series size filters.

Can you give me the year of manufacture of the lens Kodak Portrait Lens 305mm (12in) f/4.8 RE325 L S

The camerosity date code worked by replacing numbers with letters to get a two year date as follows:

C A M E R O S I T Y
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0

The year of manufacture of photographic equipment is one thing, but there is still work of history.
Here is my story.
In 2004, together with his wife Margaretha organised in Poland in Pomerania camera international plein air "man and architecture-Chelmno in focus 2004" for young people.

In photos I visited a local photographer Mr. Stanisław which saw large format cameras Burke & James View Camera 5 x 7 "and Improved Seneca View 8 x 10" and Kodak Portrait Lens (12in.) f/4.8 RE325. These cameras bought in Poland since the widow of photographs who died in Chicago in the 1960s. American Customs office authorised the dispatch of Polish cameras-such was the will of the deceased in the Testament but stopped the film holders. Mr. Stanislaw with the help of the specialists adapted camera to format 10x15cm and rollkasety 6x9cm.

In 2006 a camera recently bought large Burke & James View Camera 5 x 7 "and Improved Seneca View 8 x 10" and Kodak Portrait Lens (12in.) f/4.8 RE325 from Mr Stanisław. I bought a few German lenses 90 mm, 150 mm, 165 mm, 210 mm, 250 mm. teachers from vocational schools for mechanical profile in Krakow did rings to mount lenses. I managed to find the contractor Lensboards. At the end I bought the film holders 5 x 7 ", 13x18cm and 8 x 10"-18x24cm, Fidelity Elite.
