A lens is something you look through sooo.. when someone says "look at it through a literary lens" they mean to look at it from a literary point of view. For example, if I watch a film and then considering telling that film as a book then I would look at the film trough a literary lens. If I read a book and wanted to make it into a film then I would look at it through a cinematic lens.. and so on.
If you read a book with the idea of making it into a film then you look at it through a cinematic lens, this is not a literal lens of course (you know that) but a metaphorical one. Imagine when peter jackson was reading the hobbit, he applied a "cinematic lens" to the book to create the film, personally I think he then went on to butcher it but that's not the point. In his minds eye he created a cinema version of the book by interpreting the book through the cinematic lens in his head. Hope that helps more :)
@milander, I'm really stuck on cinematic lens :(
