   Does gravitational lensing affect gravitons coming from distant   
   sources?   
      
   To ease visualization, I assume a straight line between (1) Observer,   
   (2) Massive lensing object (~SMBH or galaxy), (3) a Distant source   
   (~SMBH or galaxy).  For photons, ideally, the angle of deflection   
   witnessed by the observer is theta = 4GM / rc^2 , where G is the   
   Newtonian gravitational constant, M the lensing mass, r the so-   
   called "impact parameter" and c the speed of light.   
      
   Since gravitons (which are generally posited to mediate gravitational   
   interaction between two masses) interact with the grav’l field itself,   
   not to mention with themselves (unlike other boson quanta), would   
   their theta relation be different?  Ie: If we could “see” gravity,   
   would we see a gravitational ‘ring’ similar to the Einstein Ring, and   
   would it have the same angular distribution?   
      
   If any distribution exists for gravitons, where could I find a good   
   reference, and would it distinguish between gravitons of different   
   energies?
