What are the differences between the Voigtlander Compact and Pancake lenses?
They are both 35mm f2.5 lenses, with the same number of elements and the
same number of groups.  I know they have different dimensions and weights.

Why would a company produce 2 LTM lenses at the same time that are so
similar?
