In this paper, we analyze the bending of light by galaxies or clusters of galaxies in the presence of the Λ term. Using Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) coordinates, which are used for the description of actual observations, we demonstrate that the cosmological constant does not practically influence the lensing effect.
