instants) is not more than two faces _without_ thickness and nothing
between them.
If there's nothing between then, then it cannot distort the images that
pass through them (like a lens do).
I have no idea what method POV-Ray uses...

(...) I didn't mean a part which was transformed with L3P, I meant to model the magnifying glass individually in POV-Ray, and including this model in an L3P'd model. Anyway, I am quite sure that POV-Ray does this refraction. The amount of refraction (...) (25 years ago, 27-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad)
