Abstract
For gravitational lens systems with unknown lens redshifts, the redshifts and brightnesses of the lenses are predicted for a variety of cosmological models. Besides providing hints as to which systems should be observed with a realistic chance of measuring the lens redshifts, which are needed for detailed lensing statistics and for modelling the lenses, these calculations give a visual impression of the influence of the cosmological model in gravitational lensing.
