  I don't understand, why is this a lens? What is a lens anyway? #question.

  as far as i can figure, a lens is an intense distortion in front of something. You cant see whats causing it, just the bubble effect.

  I would this think this is a merger with a ring too. I'll be interested in the results of your model Phil.
