Duh, probably not! I'm new to POV-Ray, so I just used the first
technique I could find suitable...
Intersections looks a lot more simple. Thanks for the input.
By the way, the scene gets even more cute by adding reflections to the
surface of the magnifying glass! I used these imperatives:
--begin--
intersection{
sphere {<-40,0,0>, 50 }
sphere {<40,0,0>, 50 }
pigment{rgb <1,1,1> filter 1}
finish {refraction 1 ior 1.15 phong 0.5 phong_size 40 reflection 0.08}}
--end--
Which produced the result:

Of course, the magnitude of the reflection can be lowered. I simply
used Lars C. Hassing's default settings from L3P.
Now imagine a scene in which a minifig is holding a properly modeled
magnifying glass which magnifies a part of the model, like, say, a map
or an instrument panel. Who'll be the first to make something like
that? It would most surely be very cute.
