are these two lenses having same optical design / same character ( only different in mount )?

I read that they arethe same optics, yet having tried all 3 - I prefer the original Pancake one. It's better built and for some reason is not as contrasty as later versions. I thought it was just my sample, but later tried other samples with the same result. Not to say that difference is huge, but I think it's there. So I kept the original one. Did anyone else have similar experience with Skopar 35's?

I have only one, I think the Pancake II, it is high contrast relative to a Leica lens, but very nice for color and some types of b/w.
I read somewhere that this design was based on a Summaron?? But not sure about that.

I had this version:
Same experiences as Krsoya, slightly lower contrast than Leicas, very nice rendering, but it was too small for my hands 😱

Guess the design is quite different
Summaron 35
Color-Skopar 35
Although a gauss-based-design its a independent CV design

I am not sure that all three versions are optically the same as they don't have the same minimal focusing distance..

I thought in the case of the various 35mm Color Skopars this difference was due to the constraints of LTM vs M mount lenses, rather than anything to do with the optical design of each version?

that's what I thought.

This isnt the case because the 2 LTM versions have different minimal focus distance, although I am not sure if there was an optics change in any of the 4 versions.
There are 3 versions of the Voigtlander 35/2.5
all have the same glass
all have different lens barrels
the C and PII take 39mm filters, the PI 43mm filters.
the screw mount 35/2.5C and 35/2.5PI were introduced at the same time, so there is no "original" version. The C was made in both silver and black, the P in black only. The silver C is discontinued, the black screw mount C stays in production.
the screw mount 35/2.5 PI did not sell well and was discontinued. it was unusual in having an exceptionally short focusing throw from close up to infinity.
The M mount 35/2.5 P II remains in the Voigtlander lineup along with the black 35/2.5 C.
