The 3 GTO clusters in our sample all show some evidence for lensing. We see some "modest" lensing in RXJ1252-2927 (z=1.24). No whopping giant arcs but definitely some fairly elongated and thin galaxies near the cluster core that have been spectroscopically verified to be at redshifts near 2. Piero would know all the details - he is leading the analysis of this system. Definitive weak lensing has also been detected in RXJ0910+54 and RXJ0848+4452 (Jee et al. 2005/6).
