Hello Partrick, although both Mitchell and B&H 2709 have 4 mounting holes (by the way Mitchell 16mm lenses have 3 holes) they are a different circumference. So, they are not interchangeable. Also 2709 lenses have the little partial circle cut-out to allow it to fit on the turret as it gives room for the center flange that secures the turret. What are you trying to do? Find lenses for a 2709? If so, take note that MANY Mitchell lenses have that little partial circle cut-out so they “fit”, but again, the hole placement will be different. My 2709 actually has 2 sets of mounting holes, one in the original pattern and one in the Mitchell pattern that were obviously added later on the cameras life. Original 2709 lenses are not common.
Hope this helps,
Mark
