  Strong gravitational lensing has traditionally been one of the few phenomena
said to oppose a large cosmological constant; many analyses of lens statistics
have given upper limits on $\Omega_\Lambda$ that are marginally inconsistent
with the concordance cosmology. Those conclusions were based on models where
the predicted number counts of galaxies at moderate redshifts (z~0.5-1)
increased significantly with $\Omega_\Lambda$. I argue that the models should
now be calibrated by counts of distant galaxies. When this is done lens
statistics lose most of their sensitivity to the cosmological constant.
