    yes, lynkeioskop it is. but it starts at 4 (at least it is written on it)
    the E.français looks the same yes, much brighter, I need to use it though. I didn't try yet. It's got perfect holders for collodion.

    A lens by Goerz (at this time!) marked F4 is really a modern F6.3.
    The Francais lens you have is a "cheat copy!" of Voigtländer fast Aplanat series III (F4.5) or IV (F.6). If you can see a big difference it may be around F5 (like one the Suter copies). All these are very nice lenses!
