  We interpret the well known fact that the equations for light rays in the
Kottler or Schwarzschild-de Sitter metric are independent of the cosmological
constant in terms of the projective equivalence of the optical metric for any
value of \Lambda. We explain why this does not imply that lensing phenomena are
independent of \Lambda. Motivated by this example, we find a large collection
of one-parameter families of projectively equivalent metrics including both the
Kottler optical geometry and the constant curvature metrics as special cases.
Using standard constructions for geodesically equivalent metrics we find
classical and quantum conserved quantities and relate these to known
quantities.
