It is known that the rotation of a gravitational lens affects properties ofimages. We consider an inverse problem: If the lens is dark, can we infer itsrotation from the observed images? We find that, up to the first order in thegravitational constant G, a rotating lens is not distinguishable from anon-rotating one. The quadrupole contribution to the deflection angle is alsocalculated for a general, extended lens object.Comment: 8 pages (PTPTeX); accepted for publication in Prog. Theor. Phy
