Good thing you asked about this sort of thing because I finally looked at the
mesh camera files and found that the pincushion effect could possibly be what
you need. You will have to find out for yourself, but try the following from
...scenes\camera\mesh_camera\meshcam_persp_compare.pov

   meshcam_lens(image_width, image_height, 67, -2, "")
//    meshcam_pinhole(image_width, image_height, c_angle, "")

Replacing the commented line with this "lens" line, look for it at the first
#declare camera_mesh=
I think it should render a scene with no other changes made, but you'll just
have to find out.
The 67 is camera angle and the -2 is pincushion amount. Negatives for that,
positive for barrel distortion.
