The projected density Σ(R)=σ2/(2GR) gives cylindrical mass πσ2R/G, so the reduced deflection magnitude is the constant displayed angular Einstein radius. The signed thin gravitational lens equation is β=θ−θE​sgnθ. A source with 0<β<θE​ has two images; one with β>θE​ has one. The lensing convergence and lensing shear magnitude are both θE​/(2∣θ∣).
