I did a little trouble-shooting ... swapped (mirror and lenses) textures 
around and indeed there seems to be somethings that's not correct. I 
don't think it's the objects or textures, so I started playing the 
photon global settings and saw slightly different results. Admittedly 
I'm weak when it comes to photons, but /think/ that's where the problem 
is ... maybe someone a bit stronger on this topic could lend a hand.
